Sometimes Truth is Stranger than Fiction

So now we know how Democrats get such good press coverage - they sleep with the reporters. At least that seems to be the strategy of LA's Democrat mayor, sleeping with a news reporter for Telemundo who also happened to cover stories on him. I think John Conyers should open an investigation into that. He seems to have plenty of time for pointless investigations lately. The Democrats obviously haven't been as busy enacting their policies in Washington as they claimed they would be. I mean, honestly, the entire Congress could probably take the whole year off and get better approval ratings than what they are now polling at.
I will not make any comments about Al Gore's son being picked up speeding and smoking pot and possessing a virtual pharmacy of drugs, except to ask how many carbon offsets he will need to purchase to make up for all the carbon dioxide he released into the atmosphere while puffing the magic dragon? Maybe this should be something the EPA should look into. Or does the fact that he was speeding in a Prius offset that? I think the bigger question on everybody's minds is this: Did his Prius have the necessary "Impeach Bush" and "Endless/This War" bumper stickers? Honestly, I like his sister more. At least she helped make the incredibly funny "Futurama."
In light of the recent attack attempts in London and Glasgow, the most important thing that has been driven home to all of us is this: let's not be hasty in linking these attacks to Islam. That's right. The fact that the perpetrators of these attempted attacks are devout followers of the "Religion of Peace" has no bearing on the situation whatsoever. So why is it that Muslims and Hollywood can blast Christianity in general over the crusades, but we must be super careful to point out that Islamic terrorists are a minority fringe of their religion? I fully understand that the vast majority of followers of this religion have no desire whatsoever to strap bombs to themselves. But they also have no huge desire to be overly critical to those who do. And when almost a third of the followers of this religion residing in England wish to live under sharia law (which permits the slaughtering of women should they bring upon themselves the shame of being raped) rather than British law, you've really got to worry. Over the centuries, Christianity has been a force for progress. True, during the middle ages, the Catholic church repressed the society that it presided over. But it learned from mistakes and now produces Mother Theresas, not Osama bin Ladens. In contrast, any country that has fallen under the rule of an Islamic society has regressed. Whereas Islamic countries once were incredibly liberal, in contrast to their European counterparts, now there is not a single country under Islamic rule that anyone would willingly resettle in. Other than terrorists, there aren't a lot of people beating down the doors at Iranian embassies to become citizens of that country.
I applaud those believers in Muhammed who lead peaceful lives and who are trying to raise their children and earn a living. But I am increasingly having to ask myself whether they truly are the rule, or the exception.
