I wish people would stop trying to destroy former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The latest to pile on this particular bandwagon was Jesse Ventura, who claimed that Palin is a quitter for resigning Sunday. Ventura said that Palin would never make it as a Navy Seal or a frogman because Seals don't quit. First of all, it is shameful for any veteran to condemn a woman who supports our military as much as Sarah Palin has, especially since her oldest son is serving overseas. And second, we shouldn't call him Jesse 'The Body' Ventura. From now on, he is Jesse
'The Nobody' Ventura. For Ventura to call Palin a quitter is like the pot calling the kettle black. Let me explain.
Ventura was a Navy Seal from 1970 to 1973 and served in Vietnam. I thank him for his service, but he did eventually quit the Seals. He then went to a community college, but quit after one year. Okay, let me get this straight. He's tough enough to be a Navy Seal, but he couldn't make it through a community college? Gimme a break, Mr. Nobody! He then became the famous pro-
fessional wrestler that we now know and love for ten years, but then he also quit that gig. (To be fair, he suffered a pulmonary embolism, which explains everything.) He then became mayor of a town in Minnesota before becoming Governor of that state in 1998. Then he decided not to run for reelection in 2002. This means that he also quit as Governor just like Palin did. So who's the quitter now, Mr. Nobody?
Mr. Nobody never had to face scrutiny like Sarah Palin did. The media destroyed her while she ran for Vice President last year. They are still going strong at it, and Mr. Nobody had to pile it on. Palin has had at least 15 phony ethics charges go against her, and they were all thrown out. Those complaints cost the state of Alaska $2 million and Sarah Palin $500,000 personally. She was not capable of governing. These are burdens that Mr. Nobody never had to face. Sarah Palin may have resigned as Governor of Alaska, not she's now concentrating on other priorities. She'll be writing a book. She'll be making money on tour. She'll be taking care of her five children, her youngest with Down's Syndrome. Sarah Palin is not hiding under a rock too afraid to come out. She'll come back stronger than ever. Take that, Mr. Nobody!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WONDER WOMAN!
If you are a child of the 1970s like me, you may recall some of the beautiful women of that time. Some of the guys may have preferred skating champion Dorothy Hamill, disco diva Donna Summer, or the late Farrah Fawcett. But for my money, the sex siren of that era was Lynda Carter, the one who brought Wonder Woman to life. When I saw Diana Prince spin around and transform herself into the famous Amazon woman, I reached puberty at the ripe old age of eight. I mention this because today is Lynda Carter's birthday. I won't reveal her actual age, but let's just say she might be a member of AARP now. Jokes aside, she still looks amazing. All of us guys could go wild over Wonder Woman's outer beauty, but we need to look deeper into her inner beauty.
I want to start with her two silver bracelets and matching tiara, each donning a red star, which is significant for a special reason. Whenever an American mother sends her son off to war, she will have a flag with a blue star draped on her front door. The star signifies the son's service to our country. Likewise, the red star lets everybody know that Wonder Woman serves America because that's her uniform. She has the job of defending America just like our brave soldiers
do in fighting wars.
Then there are her knee-high red boots with those high heels. I can't figure out how she could run around in those things. Men wouldn't look good in those during combat. They look very uncomfortable and their legs are too hairy. But Wonder Wonder could pull it off because of who she is. As Nancy Sinatra once sang: 'These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. 'Cause one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.' She must've had Wonder Woman in mind. The rest of her uniform displays true American symbolism. Her star-spangled shorts assure us that she is ready to defend the land of the free and the home of the brave. Her lassoo - and, no, it's not a whip like Indiana Jones would carry - is a true American assessory in the tradition of the long-lost era of the western cowboy.
Finally, there's the piece de resistance, the low-cut and strapless corset. Wonder Woman looks beautiful in it, but let's remember the symbol that's on it. We all know the silver American eagle with its wings spread out while perched along her (I must be careful here) bosoms. The eagle is the American symbol of freedom. On the back of the one-dollar bill, the eagle carries 13 arrows in one talon and the olive branch with 13 leaves on the other. The arrows show America's willingness to fight against her enemies; the olive branch symbolizes America's ability to extend peace to her allies. Wonder Woman always stands for peace, but don't you dare provoke her. We can all admire her outer beauty. If Wonder Woman were eye candy, our corneas would be loaded with cavities. But her outer beauty is complete only when she has her inner beauty intact. They go hand-in-hand. Now that's American.
So happy birthday, Lynda Carter. You truly are a wonderful woman. If you want to see pictures of Wonder Woman, log on to http://www.comicbookhotties.com/ and scroll to Lynda Carter. Her Web
Site is http://www.lyndacartersings.com/. Her Email is atlast@lyndacartersings.com. Please wish her a very happy birthday, and tell her I sent you. Just for the record, I have her autographed picture.
And in case you're curious, Wonder Woman is secretly married to Superman. You must admit they make a cute couple. But don't tell Lois Lane. It would hurt her feelings.

Don't let the Raptors go extinct!
Yesterday on Fox News, I heard that the U.S. Senate scrapped the F-22 Raptor jet fighter program. The program costs only a few billion dollars, but was abolished thanks to Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and our own Carl Levin (D-MI), who is the powerful Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The F-22 will give America the logistical and technological advantage in warfare for the next 40 years. Opponents say we could scrap the F-22s for the less expensive F-35, even though the F-22 is much more advanced. Some people say that the F-22 costs $350 million each, although that number is in dispute because that includes the reaseach and development that went into it. Supporters like me say the F-22 is essential to defend America in this post-9/11 world.
What's most upsetting about this is that Washington is blowing up our taxes and spending on social programs like bailouts, universal health care, and the stimulus packages. We will have trillion-dollar deficits for at least another decade, but we can't spend about $2 billion a year to maintain the F-22 program? President Barack Obama promised to give us shovel-ready programs through his stimulus programs, yet the F-22 is just such a program. The Bush administration spent billions of dollars in R & D on the Raptor. Now Obama wants to abolish the program. This is just one small example of how socialists view our military. He'll get soft and chummy with the worst dictators and cut defense spending like the F-22 and missile defense, but he'll give trillions in social programs. The F-22 would replace many obsolete aircraft and make our military leaner and more effective. This will help us win wars and save money in the long run. The F-22 is the best fighter jet to date. Let's use it to our advantage. It would be a shame to see our politicians make the Raptors go extinct with the rest of the dinosaurs.

The toss that couldn't!
For those of you who didn't watch baseball's All-Star Game on Tuesday, you missed an extra special treat. We've all heard of the shot 'heard 'round the world.' Now hear of the tale of the baseball that couldn't even reach home plate. At the pre-game festivities of the mid-summer classic at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Cardinal legend Stan Musial received a rousing standing ovation as he entered the playing field courtesy of a convertible. Just when Cardinal fans cele-brated its hero, along came President Barack Obama to deflate the air out of the balloon. Here's what happened.
When Joe Buck introduced the President, our Cammander-in-Chief was greeted to an equal serving of cheers and boos. Now Cardinal fans rarely ever boo anybody. They even cheer for opposing teams, which is unheard of. (Strike one!) To make matters worse, Obama wore a Chicago White Sox jacket. He didn't even have the common sense to wear his Presidential jacket
to let people know he's the President of all the people. (Strike two!) And then there was the throw to home plate. In case you didn't see it, that's okay. Nobody saw it because Fox showed his throw to Albert Pujols from the pitcher's mound on an upward angle. This was clearly a poorly-drawn PR move on the part of the White House. Obama's throw was nothing less than wimpy.
It was a high arch that resembled the St. Louis arch. And it didn't even make it to home plate because Big Albert scooped it out of the dirt. (Strike three!)
Now let's compare this to President George W. Bush's pitch at Yankee Stadium in 2001 right after the 9/11 tragedy. And you can't get away with anything in New York City, especially in the Bronx. You'll get dragged out of the city with your tail between your legs if you upset them. But Bush was cool under pressure as he threw a perfect strike. And everybody saw it too. No decep-tive camera angles were necessary, and Bush won the crowd over. Deal with that, Barack!
I think Obama's throw, if you dare call it that, will resemble America's greatness during his first and only term in office. Our dominance in the world will reach its peak and then crash to the ground with no safety net. I'm afraid the worst is yet to come.

Show some empathy for Frank Ricci.
This week begins the hearings of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Monday was pretty much saturated with Senators making mindless monologues. But now we're getting into the question-and-answer part. I'm interested most of all in the case of Frank Ricci. If you're unfa-miliar to the case, Frank Ricci is a fireman in New Haven, Connecticut. He took a standard test in his department to see if he could be promoted. He studied extra hard for the test because he suf-fers from dyslexia, a very serious learning disability. He hired a tudor a spent extra time and money for the test. Frank Ricci passed the test as did many of his fellow firemen. Yet the city threw out the results of the 20 firemen who passed. Their crime: 19 were white, one was His-panic. Not one black passed the test.
The firefighters who passed the test sued the city. The case went to the 2nd Curcuit Court of
Appeals (of which Sotomayor was a member). The 2nd Curcuit ruled in favor of the city, inclu-ding Sotomayor. The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned the 2nd Curcuit's decision 5-4. Now Sonia Sotomayor is waiting to be confirmed to the highest court in the land.
Sotomayor has said that she wants to show empathy as a judge, but there's a huge difference between empathy and justice. Empathy is relating to another person's emotions and feelings. Justice is about applying the law. She thought it was alright for the city of New Haven to throw out the results of the test because she showed 'empathy' to the blacks who failed the test. Yet she showed absolutely no empathy for a man who overcame a learning disability. You would think that America of all places on earth would reward those who overcome adversity, but not Sotomayor. What was the use of all those firemen working long hours to pass a test if bureau-
crats could toss out the results? People talk about racism all the time, but what about sticking up for those with learning disabilities? Is that too much to ask? I would've hoped that Sotomayor
could've shown some empathy for Frank Ricci.

Run, Sarah, run!
The radical left is continuing to hound and destroy Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Liberals have made cheap shots at her family, mocked her appearance, and leveled countless phony charges against her. The McCain/Palin ticket lost eight months ago and the liberals still find her a threat. A lot of people are condemning Palin for stepping down without finishing her first term. They deem her a quitter who's just out for herself and wants to run for President. I totally disagree with this opinion.
Palin's resignation was not a political move at all. Had it been purely political, she would've fin-ished out the rest of her term (which ends 12/31/10) so she could run for President in 2012. Instead, this was a tactical move to prevent liberals from attacking her further. Sarah Palin has had 15 ethics charges filed against her, all without any merit. This has cost the state of Alaska, with fewer than one million people, two million dollars. The legal bills mounted against Palin her-self are up to $500,000. She has had no ability to work and govern for her state and its people. She's frustrated and has had enough. Her resignation is her way of saying 'you won't have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore.' You go, girl!
Now Palin will have time to write her book, pay her bills, attend to her family, and raise money for the Republican Party. I know the next election is a long way off, but I would really like to see her run. Sarah Palin for President 2012. I like the sound of that.

Sanford, you big dummy!
We've all heard of the indiscretions of that talking philandering fool, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, by now. Sanford admitted to having an affair with a woman named Maria from Argentina. Over Father's day weekend, he was MIA as he skipped town to be with his mistress in her home country. In his admission, he made a tearful apology as he kept rambling on. You can't make this stuff up.
Governor Sanford was the most ardent opponent of accepting stimulus money from Washington.
Yet he was delivering his own 'stimulus plan' to his foreign mistress. I can only imagine what Saturday Night Live will do to him. They can have Sanford playing Tony in 'West Side Story' singing 'Maria, I just had an affair with Maria.' And we all remember Evita Peron singing 'Don't cry for me, Argentina.' Sanford can sing 'don't cry for me, South Carolina.' The press was telling us that Governor Sanford could've been a viable Republican candidate for President in 2012. Now Fred G. Sanford looks like a better candidate.
Speaking of that, I just thought of another parody. We all remember 'Sanford and Son' starring
Redd Foxx. Now we can have Governor Sanford and his four sons in 'Sanford and Sons.' The Governor would be kicked out of the luxurious governor's mansion so that he and the boys (minus Mrs. Sanford) could live in a junk yard. And whenever Mr. Sanford has an argument with his sons, he'll go into a conniption fit and yell 'this is the big one, Maria! This is the big one! I'm coming to join ya in Argentina!' It would be a hoot.
Sanford, you are a big dummy.

Hope you had a good July 4th!
I hope that all of my readers, and even those who aren't, had a great July 4th. It was a beautiful weekend. Last year I made a joke that the Fourth of July was so beautiful that even Jeremiah Wright said 'God Bless America.' I hope the joke carries on in the future. Anyway, my niece and nephew just flew in from Connecticut on Saturday and will spend the month of July in Michigan.
They're 10 and 11, respectively. It's nice to see them again, but I hope they leave before the state of Michigan declares them unemployed. I spent all day Sunday and Monday with them at my Aunt and Uncle's, so I apologize for not giving you my sharp commentary on the issues of
the day. But with the news being so busy lately, I'll be anxious to get back with both barrels blasting. So stay tuned. You ain't heard nothing yet. Liberals, you've been warned, but happy
Indepenence Day anyway!

Vote no on the Macomb County Charter!
On June 17th, the Macomb County Commission voted 25-0 (with one commissioner absent) to approve the Macomb County Charter. Governor Jennifer Granholm will have 30 days from June 23rd to approve the Charter. After that, the Charter will be placed on the November 3rd ballot
seeking approval from the people. This is when I want the people of Macomb County to rise up and vote no on the Charter. There are several reasons why.
The Democrats, along with the unions and the Macomb County Chamber of Commerce, pushed for the charter last year and got it. The Democrats have three major objections. First, they want to reduce the number of County Commissioners from 26 to 13. They'll draw three districts north of Hall Road and rest south of it. This will guarantee them a majority of about 10-3 on the County Commission. Second, they want to establish a County Executive that will consolidate more power and raise taxes within the county. Third, the Democrats want to use the County Executive position as a steppingstone for higher office like Senator or Governor. And they want to put this on the ballot in November in an off-year election so they can sneak this by the voters.
Nice try, Democrats. I can see your ploy. The Democrats say that this new form of government will streamline the county government. But given their track record, you shouldn't believe that for a second.
This is the same Democratic Party that raised our millage rates nine percent in Macomb County.
They skyrocketed our taxes in Lansing. And they're practically creating a quasi-socialist state in Washington. I could chronicle everything, but that would require me writing a book and you know a lot of it, anyway. Republicans have been badly beaten in the last two elections. But so much has happened since. A huge grassroots movement has taken place with the tea parties consisting of Americans from all walks of life who just want their lives back to normal. I'm star-
ting to read the Charter now. (You can read it by visiting www.macombcountymi.gov!) One thing that the Democrats, who possess a 22-4 majority in the Charter Commission, placed in the Charter was the establishment of an Ethics Board. This board will consist of five people appoin-ted by the Executive that will enforce ethics in the county. That sounds nice and good, but why not have the County Commission enforce ethics? There's no need to appoint a separate board to enforce ethics! It's just more bureaucracy that we can't afford.
We can also not afford higher taxes and more government. Please vote no on the Macomb County Charter on November 3rd.
