Oh this is grande and juicy stuff, Nagin says he's going to call the Rush Limbaugh Show. Mayor Ray(cist) Nagin went on WWL radio today and here's some excerpts along with

Nagin: "...I'm just curious as to why, um, the media is not doing a little more in depth analysis on this issue.

TT: I don't know the Times Picayune looks....like.... their doing their homework

Nagin cuts in as the statement closes.

Nagin: The Times Picayune started all this crap

TT: Yeah

Nagin: The basically started it from the standpoint of some company out of Texas, on the back of a napkin made an offer t.. for the city to get... make money off this particular issue with uh, with cars. I don't do deals off the backs of envelopes and I would hope that nobody would want me to make those kinds of things.

Mayor Ray-cist, which was it? Back of a napkin or envelope? Aren't those two entirely different things? Maybe it was a envelope made out of a napkin? Would that be a Napkilope? Perhaps maybe just a little white chocolate lie?

Nagin: We did an RFP for this thing. It was vetted out, it was public, it was on.. it was uh... advertised in the newspaper and this particular RFP has nothing to do with car crushing. That's the thing that really blows my mind. Uh it has... FEMA, this is a FEMA reimbursable issue number one. So FEE, there's nothing that the city of New Orleans is paying for this. Secondarily, when we awarded these contracts, price, was not as much of an issue because everyone understood that they would have to fall in line with what FEMA guidelines said they could pay. Uh and that's how we moved forward on this thing. So we were negotiating trying to get this thing to the point that FEMA would accept the rate that they were paying, then the state issued a statewide contract. Uh and their trying to do their own thing, so we had to figure out who had jurisdiction in the middle of all this. Regardless, here here's the other thing I was telling you and then I'll take your questions.

Uh, we have not stopped taking cars up. We have a local company that's taking up almost a third of the entire lot that's out there, so we have been working, so this whole notion that everythings been on hold is not true. So we've been moving cars, uh and in addition to that uh... I just don't get this, the FEMA rules do not allow us to make money off these kind of transactions. So this company's claim that we can sell, give them the car and they can now pay the city back, that's not allowed.

TT: Well, we, we had the representative on this morning, on one of the morning shows.

Nagin: You had him on twice, I think.

TT: No, we had the representative on early this morning saying that they had actually negotiated, talked with your departmental head.

Nagin: So they alr, they also said they they've talked with the state, they hadn't gotten the contract there, theys talked with Mississippi, they haven't gotten the contract there, uh, and... it's just frustrating.

Yep, it was a little white chocolate lie.

There's more... but I want to dish out the goodies.....You can here the whole conversation here.

Continuing on....

TT: ....people are calling me saying "are you listening to Rush Limbaugh? He's beating the hell out of (inaudible). Calling him uh "School Bus Nagin", and and and their saying it's "all over the country". Next thing I know, it's on the network news, (Nagin attempts to interrupt) and and this is 20 million people listening to the show, whether you like him, don't like him, good show or bad show, why wouldn't you come out and respond to him when you know....

(Overlapping each other)

Nagin: I don't even listen to Rush, uh, number one. I...

(overlapping continues)

TT: I'm not talking about that, you know very well that the people that are reading this and hearing it, even the people that like you, even the people that are intending to vote for you, can't read this with no response from you and not think 'this is corruption, he's hiding something'. That makes sense doesn't it?

Nagin: Look, you know what, no it don't make sense.

TT: Why??

Nagin: uh because there's got to be a journalist somewhere in this town, in this country.

TT: But we couldn't get a hold of you. (Nagin overlaps with uh uh uh) I've been saying everyday 'Mayor you'll want to call radio show, call the t.v. station, call the Times Picayune, call call the bad media that's causing this, but just respond to us. And and the less, the more time there is with no response, you gotta understand, that you and I been through a lot together, now I gotta tell you, I've been sitting and saying "Uh oh this doesn't look good, this looks like corruption, this looks like hiding, this looks like," I mean I'll get up this morning and the company says They're pulling out, why are they pulling out? Let's see there there there..um

Exactly right, with the nation watching, Louisiana politicians continuously find ways to embarrass this state even more. What really caught my attention was at the end of the audio link when Nagin decides he's going to call Rush Limbaugh

TT: If your response is valid, then it's dead

Nagin: I'm going to call Rush too

TT: You should! Absolutely you should

Nagin: I'm a call Rush

Uh-oh Rush, be careful tomorrow, Chocolate City's little Almond Joy is going to call you. The problem is, sometimes he feels like a nut, sometimes he don't.

As a result of the government's failed response to Hurricane Katrina and Rita and the bungled attempt to sell our ports to the government of Dubai, most Democrats and Republicans also agree that our government can — and must — do a better job of protecting the American people.

First, I don't think anybody believes the government failed the "victims" of Rita, all anybody wants to talk about is Katrina. Where did this come from? Oh, that's right, when you're a Democrat, anything, and I mean anything Bush does should be criticized.

Secondly, "we" didn't sell anything to the government of Dubai, the British company did. It was a deal from one foreign company to another foreign company and the United States senate, led by Chucky Schumer, and aided by Harry Reid, failed to give an ally fair treatment. Furthermore, the Senate and House participated in reactionary racism, treating a group of people differently with no other reason than because they were Arabic.

Still, let's say Harry Reid is really concerned about who is coming into our country... which is a reasonable fear, after all, thousands of people want to come to this country. Though I firmly believe that the majority of people who come to this country legal, or illegally do not wish any harm and only seek a better way of life, there are some that do want to come here to bring harm to this nation.

So where do you think most of the illegal immigrants come into our country from? Land or Sea?

Obviously Harry Reid believes they are coming from the seas, because according to Harry Reid, our borders don't have a national security issue, our "ports" do.

Across the country, there is strong, bipartisan opposition to the Dubai deal, but we need to recognize that our port security challenges go beyond this specific arrangement. Regardless of what happens with this sale, we need to make a real commitment to securing our ports. -- Harry Reid 3-11-2006

But not our borders????

As the Senate prepares to tackle the most sweeping immigration reforms in years, a top Democrat vowed Wednesday to do everything in his power, including filibuster, to thwart Majority Leader Bill Frist's proposed overhaul.

Yeah, I know he said "must include heightened border enforcement" and blah, blah, blah, but Harry Reid and the Democrats won't do anything about the borders until Democrats get control, and then watch out. If you think we are losing freedom now, wait til they get back into power.

Harry Reid and the Democrats will do everything possible to keep our borders open because for Democrats, National Security is not their priority, getting back into power and then ensuring they keep it, is their priority.

Oh those Filthy Libs

Funny isn't it, liberal areas have high pollution... I guess it's George Bush's fault.

Here's the list of the top five states:

1. New York
2. California
3. Oregon
4. Washington
5. New Jersey

Now I know what your thinking, what? No Washington D.C? Which technically you would be right, the EPA did name the EPA as the fifth worse, but I don't think that DeeCee is a state so I didn't list them as fifth. Quite frankly, with all them politicans in DeeCee, I'm surprised they weren't number 1.

Obviously in New York and California smoking bans haven't worked, and being that thses are liberal states means more smoking bans on the way. This time, look for statewide legislation pushing the smoking ban.

Ray-Cist Nagin

Is subjecting us in Baton Rouge to campaign ads. If it wasn't bad enough that the sight of him reminds many of us of his 'chocolate city' comments, his campaign ads do. He's walking 'through' New Orleans, but in reality he's actually walking against a green screen. The commercials are actually pathetic because they are so poorly done.

2 years of blogging excerpts

Ah the first Ode to Blog, originally titled "In Blog We Trust" from 9-28-04

What we are witnessing isn’t just pamphleteering that Michelle Malkin spoke of. It’s more than that; it’s a new form of communication. It’s the new telephone, only now, you can tell everybody the great news, or the bad news, and it only takes a few minutes.

And one of my all time favorite posts was titled Sick of Iraqinam!

The amount of time it would take for us to lose equal amount of American lives in Iraq by war.
War-----------------------------Amount of time to equal casualties.

The fact that they nearly destroyed the Spotted Owl really disturbs me, but do they really have to go after and intentionally make extinct thousands of species that we don't even know about? It's bad enough George Bush allows this to continue on but now we find out that he's also letting his big oil buddies build a pipeline through the Amazon rain forest.

I've had about enough of Bush, it's time to Impeach him. If the war for oil wasn't enough then maybe building a pipeline through the rain forest is. And to top it off, it's going to cost 20 billion dollars! Instead of spending this money on destroying the rain forest, perhaps the money would be better spent on the poor and indigenous people of Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela. Not Bush, he'd rather let them starve so his rich oil buddies can get richer on the backs of the poor while putting our ecological future at risk.

Now, people accuse liberals of being unpatriotic and unAmerican, but the fact of the matter remains that George W. Bush and his oil buddies are destroying the environment. They couldn't kill innocent animals in ANWAR so they want to go to the rain forest and destroy even more Animals.

But for environmentalist, it isn't about hate America. Does anybody really believe that environmentalist are only concerned about bringing the American economy down? If it was about "Hate America" then environmentalist everywhere would turn the other cheek if more moderate governments did it too. I garuntee that if China, North Korea, Cuba, or even the country that Hugo Chavez is from, we'd all be up in arms.

Regardless of who's doing it, know this, environmentalist are pro-America and they are Patriotic, and protecting the environment is Pro-America. Environmentalist world wide have a say in the destruction of our planet, whether George Bush wants to do it in Anwar, off the Gulf Coast, in Iraq, or in the South American Rain forest.

Now, before you comment, it would serve you well to actually read more of this blog than just one post.

Last week we were discussing slavery, animal rights, and the rights of the homeless. Many of you think that I was being harsh on M.A. beause he didn't blame Bush, however, you shouldn't complain because I will give you an 'F' along with some electroshock therapy. Don't ever question your liberal leaders.

The point is, that the term 'slavery' can be interpreted, I'm proud to say, "liberally". It can apply to animals, the homeless, the working class, even housewives. In short, slavery is a word to remind people how oppressed they are. Try it when you go home, if your parents or spouse wants you to do something around the house, tell them "Do it yourself, I'm not your slave"

Let's open up our bibles to the first page. The Declaration of Independence. Starting on the second paragraph we see a major fault in Republican thinking. This goes to show just how illiterate Republicans truly are. The way Republicans read the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence is:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Now, we all know that this is completely incorrect because the way it was supposed to be written is as follows:

We hold our truths to be self-evident, that when all people are created, they were created from a cluster of cells and allowed to exist by their parents so that they can have their own individual higher power as they see fit. That the truth that is self evident is that all men are not equal and that it is the duty of governments to ensure that all men live and die equal.

It is the governments responsibility to make sure that all people are equal from womb to tomb. Why should some people be wealthy while others live in poverty? Why should some people have big houses while some are without a place to rest their head?

Think about this, who wants to be sad while everybody else is happy? Is it fair that some people are happy while you are sad? Is it fair that some people are happily married while the person you love doesn't want you?

Is it fair that somebody makes $10,000 a month while you are unemployed? Shouldn't that person who is working pay you six months salary while you look for a job? Why should he be happy while you are without a job? Is it fair?

Is it fair that people destroy forest for wood to build houses while so many people around the world live in tin huts? Is it fair that people destroy the environment with big SUV's while people who care about the environment drive small compact cars? Is it fair that children have violent games and playstations while other children in America are starving under George W. Bush?

Fair is making sure everybody is as happy as you are when you are miserable.

Fair is making sure that the rich are as rich as you are when you're in poverty.

Is it fair that so many people spend money on worthless things like tattoos, rock concerts, beer, televisions, or even illegal drugs while so many elderly people have had their medicine stolen right out of their bathrooms by George Bush's rich pharmacuetical friends?

It's not fair that some people have more than others so it only makes sense to take away from the people who have more and give to the less fortunate until everybody is equally happy and sad. That's fair.

It's a liberal right of passage to ensure that everybody is equal.

Evil Republicans will fill try to fill you heads with Roman Republican Hitler brainwashing and tell you that some people work harder than others, or choose different paths through life, that in this country everybody has equal opportunity.

Myth #1 - Some people work harder than others

Can you believe the arrogance of this? Some people work harder than others? We all know that people that own businesses spend the entire day on the golf courses smoking cigars and doing nothing else all day.

Yet, there are many, many people that work extremely hard as Professional Daytime Talkshow Analyst, earning slave wages and only getting paid once a month. The only way they will even get a pay raise is to go through the hardcore labor of giving childbirth. A Professional Daytime Talkshow Analyst is way underpaid.

Myth #2 - People choose different paths through life

This statement is laughable. Everybody that I know would love to be rich if they could be. Don't you want to be rich? It's not your fault that you were not born rich. It's not your fault that your higher power didn't bless you to be as fortunate as other people

Many times people are unjustly fired from their jobs. Usually it's because their greedy boss doesn't like his slaves, I mean employees because they are a minority or a woman and doesn't want to pay him more so he just fires them with no justifiable reason. Some people can't get that job that pays them more because nobody ever came to their door and offered it to them.

Myth #3 - In this country everybody has equal opportunity

Bull-caca-meme, everybody has equal opportunity? Everybody knows that rich minority and poor white person are both oxymorons. Everybody knows that women are not as capable of making as much money as men.

Everybody knows that when business hires people that they make their decisions on who are related to their friends. Have you ever heard of a business that hires a person based on who the businessman actually thinks will benefit his company the most? That's simply not the way it works. A business man hires his friends because he thinks his friends should have a job.

Any way folks, our time is up so it's time for your homework assignment. When you complete your homework assignment, post it on your blog and then send me a trackback letting me know that it is complete. I will grade your homework assignment on your blog, however, if I don't leave a grade, then that means you got a 'C' since we don't fail anybody here. Everybody deserves at least 'C'. I will recognize the best homework turned in during next weeks class.

Name something that rich people can own that poor people should?

Should Government abolish it completely or make it an entitlement for the poor?

Tips on being more Liberal

1. When driving through a parking lot drive around for several minutes, even hours if necessary to find the closet parking spot next to the building. If, while driving around a car is pulling out, speed up and hit them so you can sue them. Remember, people owe you something and it doesn't matter what kind of financial shape the other person is in, you are more important.

2. When standing in a line at a store, be sure to find something to get mad about, that way, you can project your anger off onto the clerk checking you until they can't take it anymore. Once they start yelling back at you, and if they are liberal, they will yell back because like you, they are more important than everybody else. This will get them fired and you can then sue the store for mental distress, even though you started it, but make sure you blame the store.

3. When looking for a job, take all applications that you acquired and shove them under the couch cushion. Then lay on the couch all day and guard those applications. If you fail to do this, they won't magically fill theirself out and give you a job. Also, failure to do this keeps opportunity knocking on your door. Just lay there on the couch, watching television, and sooner or later you will have somebody knocking on your door offering you a job starting at $15 an hour because that's how much you deserve for starting pay. Do not accept a job for anything less, because as you know, you are more important than everybody else.

4. If you are bumming money, be sure not to take a shower for weeks. This helps expediate the process of bumming money. Once people smell you, they realize how much you need the money and they begin to throw money at you. However, sometimes you get a selfish Republican type that doesn't understand that you are more important than he is. He may ask you "why should he work and you don't have too?". If this happens, tell him that you do work, that you work cleaning up the streets, or something like that. Then you curse at him because you are more important than he is and he's too stupid to understand that.

5. Parents, as you know children will do what ever they want to do, even though you are the most important person in the world and everybody owes you something. Do not encourage your children to abstain from having sex, in fact encourage them by giving them condoms. When giving them condoms be sure to tell them "I know you are going to do want you want to do anyway so when having sex, we HOPE you want to wear condoms". You can't tell them to wear condoms because as you know children will do what they want to do anyway so it doesn't help to tell them to wear condoms. In fact, don't get mad at your children when they fight, skip school, join gangs, or anything else. Children are just going to do what they want to do so you don't need to worry at all.

Ah, this brain bullet makes me think of Sutter and Eminent Domain....

August 5, 2004

"Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty." --John Adams and I thought that was a pretty good post that went with it.

And then I discovered Firefox... it seems like so much longer that I have been using firefox.

August 2, 2004

I have made a switch. I no longer am using Internet Explorer. From now on I am using Firefox Mozilla. It seems to have stopped my popup problem so I will continue to use it. Thank you Mozilla.

Even though it was in London, the blame America first crowd had their say in this movie... It's America's fault because they got involved in Iraq and England became the target of terrorist attacks.

Also, Homosexuals are 'oppressed' for no reason, and 'Christians' are the big government oppressors. Oh and the big Pharmacuetical companies were a big part of the oppression. Oh, the 'Koran' was against the law and a thing of 'beauty'.

Oh, the 'Voice of London' was a Limbaugh like character. The conservative party was duping the public, and I think that's about it for liberal propaganda in the movie. Outside of that, the movie was pretty good, but don't waste 10 bucks on this movie, I already did that for you.

However, comparing this to Jughead (Jarhead) this movie is a must see on DVD, whereas Jughead was a 'must throw away' on DVD. Really, watch it on DVD.

The following post is a call to conservatives to unite this election cycle to make sure that the left does not win. Each word in this post links to a different conservative blog. I hope that you enjoy it.

"I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

Defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. All enemies, foreign and domestic. Foreign and domestic. Domestic.

While our military is busy fighting and dismantling our foreign enemies, our domestic enemies have stepped up their battle against our country. Time and time again, those that do not wish to see America succeed have used every ounce of energy to ensure that America fails in its mission to defend freedom.

If one were to listen to America's domestic enemies, one would think that Hugo Chavez was the pride and joy of liberty. You'd think, after listening to enemies of America, that President George Bush was the world's greatest terrorist. You'd think that Americans deserved 9-11.

Yet, time and time again, we are told not to question each other's Patriotism, despite how much disdain for this country a person shown. These domestic enemies would have us believe that Patriotism means to desire America's defeat.

For many, Patriotism means not to fight terrorist in countries that breed terrorism, but to fight them here within our borders. Patriotism, for them, means to stand for Palestinians as they bomb Israel, all the while, they are blaming Israel for Palestinian behavior.

And though our friends in uniform are actively fighting for freedom overseas, it's the duty of American citizens not surrender those very freedoms that our military is fighting for. It's our duty to keep freedom intact, so that when the men and women in uniform return home, they recognize the country they left.

Our domestic enemies have yet to show that they are truly concerned with the freedoms that belong to all men, regardless of country. It's the love of freedom that desires liberty for all, not just Americans. It's the faith that all men are created equal that gives credence to the belief that all nations are capable of living with liberty and without tyranny.

We have a choice this year as to which direction our country goes. That fork in the road can lead us in two very different directions. That fork in the road is called the Elections of 2006.

That choice we have, can either lead us on the course that we are heading. It's a course that hasn't been easy because the desire of the enemy is strong. That desire has only been strengthened by the enemy within. A defeat to the domestic enemies is a giant blow to the strength and will of our foreign enemies.

The other choice is to vote off course, to lead our nation into a much greater division during a time of war. A decision to divide this country even further while one party controls a congress that would be fighting tooth and nail against the President as he leads this fight against terrorism. A decision that encourages terrorism as withdrawing our troops would save them from the jaws of defeat. And to keep the President from putting conservatives on the Supreme Court.

That choice means a congress that believes America is at fault for 9-11. That choice means congress will spend more time on new laws in the name of security and much less time on defending freedom. That choice means congress will empower big government to protect us from ourselves, but won't address terrorism at its core. The choice is clear, finish the war, our let the government bring the war home. What will you choose?

For the Wright Wing Militia, that choice is clear. The War on Terrorism must be fought and won on foreign soil. A loss in Iraq will encourage our smaller enemies like Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela. The love of America is the love of freedom, and that the love of freedom requires, at times, war.

The Wright Wing bloggers understands that the overzealous want of peace leads to greater wars, but the willingness to go to war, brings peace. It is for peace that the war must be won, failure only leads to more battles.

So while the Main Stream Media speaks of division within the Republican Party and the left wing gets bolder, the Wright Wing Militia gears up and prepare for battle. The Wright Wing Militia won't go down that easy, as Dan Rather and others found out in 2004. The battle for 2006 is just beginning and I assure you that the Wright Wing Militia will be ready!

I hope you enjoy!

In other news, I have had a very busy week. I have had lots of work to do. Since people don't just give me money, I have to go earn it. It's not a pretty sight. Sometimes I wish I were a Democrat because it's so much easier than getting a job. Sit around watching Oprah Winfrey, demanding that hard working people give me more of their money, calling myself compassionate because I want people to give to me, and all the while, I blame the Republicans because I'm poor.

Unfortunately, I'm one of those uncompassionate people that works hard so the government can take money from me and give it to others and take credit for being compassionate. For once, I wish these "compassionate people" would focus more on giving their own money, than they do other people's money.

But work hasn't been the only thing that's prevented me from blogging. This blog has prevented me from blogging. That's right, I blame the blog. Those liberal churches and bible studies takes a lot of time to do, but the ODE TO BLOGS are even more tedious and time consuming. Yes, another ODE TO BLOG is coming up and hopefully it gives Technorati a headache.

Finally, I have a small change in my lexicon. No longer will the Governors mansion be called the Governors Mansion, at least in Louisiana. Since George W. Bush does business out of the 'West Wing', then Kathleen Blanco must work out of the 'Waste Wing'.

Amendment XIII

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Slavery is defined as 'being forced to do something against your will by Republicans with out just compensation. When Republicans schedule you to work, without paying you extra, is in itself a form of slavery and is unconstitutional. More plainly spoken a violation of our bible. Remember, that does not apply to liberals, you must obey all liberal Democrats. A great example is Wal-mart which underpays it's employees, while on the other hand some companies that do the same thing are not in violation. The difference? Wal-mart gives more money to Republicans than they do Democrats, thus they qualify as sweatshop status and are in violation of the bible. Wal-mart is unconstitutuional.

I want to call the class's attention to a dissertation from one average student. Let me read a bit to you...

Yeah, you read that title correctly.

Where exactly do humans get the idea that it's a good thing to kidnap other creatures, and put them in cages? The reason given by zoo advocates is human education. But that answer doesn't wash. First of all, what makes our knowledge of another species more important than their freedom?

That's a nice attempt at being liberal but can anybody tell me why this dissertation would fail to be of the liberalus cum laude quality?

Nobody? No rising stars in this class? You there, in the back, please rise. Tell me, what you thought.

Student: "Well sir, I think he did a wonderful job of identifying oppression."

Prof PP: "Yes, what else?"

Student: "And he also spoke of the poor not being taken care of by the government"

Prof PP: "Yes, but what is wrong with it, there are some key elements missing. What are they?"

Student: "He didn't blame Bush?"

Prof PP: "Correct-a-mundo! You may have a seat"

George H(itler) W(armonger) Bush did not shoulder any of the blame, in fact he blames the mayor. The mayor? Obviously he didn't do his research. The mayor is Antonio R. Villaraigosa and he is a liberal, though he prefers to be called 'a progressive'. This is totally unacceptable.

He even blamed Villaraigosa for the homeless problem in Los Angeles, when in fact, whenever a liberal is in control of the city, he fails to take care of his own people because of the Republicans. In this case, his best bet would be to blame Governor Arnold Schwartzanegger, since he's the Republican Governor of California. However, sometimes you can't blame the Gov., so in those situations, blame the Republican President. It's always acceptable to blame Republicans.

Another thing that M.A. failed to do was compare the zoos to torture as effectively as possible. Off the top of my head, he could have titled his dissertation "A-ZOO GHRAIB" but even better would have been "A ZOO SLAVE" or "The Elephant Holocaust". Anytime you can remind people of Abu Ghraib, the Nazi's, slavery, and/or torture, and mention the zionist warmonger named Bush, you are well on your way to high quality writing. Why are these words so important?

1. Slavery - To remind blacks they better vote Democrat or Republicans will kill them.
2. Holocaust - To make people think about the 'H' in the Satan Bush's name (Hitler).
3. Abu Ghraib - To make people think about their own destiny in Bush's torture chambers if he doesn't get impeached.
4. Torture - Same as three.

Getting back to the positive aspects of M.A.'s prose, I found it simply marvellous that he was able to talk about both the oppression of homeless people and the oppression of elephants in the torture chambers called disguised by a nice name.

Many Republicans will laugh at him and call him an radical, but remember, all Republicans are Right Wing Christian Extremist, therefor they are wrong. M.A. is to be applauded for taking such a breath taking risk and having the courage to bring moderate thinking to the public. Most people are moderates, and with courageous people like M.A. speaking out against Bush making war against elephants for his rich oil buddies, more will stand up and speak out.

Defending M.A.

Had he simply blamed Bush and said something about Iraq, terrorism, or Abu Ghraib, this would be very easy to defend. However, that's why I chose this piece. My students need to know how to defend the undefendable!

So what I would do to defend this is the first line of defense, accuse his opposition of "supporting slavery" and "avoiding the real issue of homeless people"

Since he didn't blame Bush, it's your responsibility to pick up his slack. You blame Bush for spending money for the homeless on the war for oil in Iraq.

Accuse the person he is opposed to this of not caring about little 9 year old girls that sleep on cardboard boxes.

Folks, we are almost out of time, so we will conclude this class on another day, but your homework assignment...

1. Write an article on the suffering and oppression of zoo animals.
2. Point out how the money could be spent on the poor
