Kevin at The Smallest Minority did a little looking into Mr. Thompson and found even more quotey goodness.

You need to go here now and read this.

Ok, ok, if you want to know what it is, a gentleman named George at Seixon seems to have caught child murderer supporter George Galloway in a rather sizable lie spoken during his Senate testimony last week.

One of my co-workers sent me this, knowing I’d like it.
The Geek w/a 45 helps an immigrant see exactly WHAT sets America apart from the rest.
It should bring tears to your eyes every time they discover it.
How about ‘Kiss My Ass!’
This guy has some big brass ones,
Stating that the United Nations needs “nothing less than a transformation,” the organization’s chief of staff, Mark Malloch Brown, told Congress yesterday that reform could be achieved only by increasing funding and reducing American interference at Turtle Bay.
Mr. Malloch Brown told the House International Relations Committee that Secretary-General Annan is intent on making changes, and that he has introduced more U.N. reforms than “any of his predecessors.” He said that in order for Mr. Annan to realize future reform, he must be “given back the power to manage” the world body and member states, including top contributor America, must fund the organization “properly.”
Tired of having to funnel money through his corrupt organization, Anan and Malloch want the world in general, and the US inparticular, to just hand it to them in bag bags with dollar signs on them.
We need Bolton in there right now!

California’s charter schools are more likely to meet their academic goals than traditional public schools, according to a study released Wednesday.The study used scores from California’s Academic Performance Index, which includes the results of several standardized tests, and the California High School Exit Exam, to measure student performance.
Across all grades, the study found that classroom-based charter schools were 33 percent more likely to meet student improvement goals than traditional schools. Middle schools far exceeded regular public schools, with 81 percent meeting those goals on the API, compared to 54 of traditional public schools.
More proof that the government has no place in education.
Eagleville School valedictorian Abraham Stoklasa rehearsed his speech without two objectionable lines Friday morning yet reinserted them from memory at that night’s graduation, an official said.
Holton said she wanted Stoklasa to cut only two lines from his speech that she felt would offend many about the school. One suggested that the school prepared all of its students for any station at McDonald’s, and the other implied that the school’s weightlifting class wasn’t much of a mind stimulator.
“I think the two lines could be hurtful to other people and are insensitive,” said Holton, adding that she and Assistant Principal Bill Tollett appealed to the student several times to change his speech.
About the only people who wouldn’t find those lines funny are the ones in charge.
Because sometimes the truth hurts.

This Saturday the 28th of May, there will be a Bowling Pin Shoot happening at the Central Whidby Sportsman’s Association.
You are welcome to join myself and Mr. Completely (aka Mike G.) in partaking of some freshly racked bowling pics and the sport of unracking them as fast as you can with your pistola.
You can read about my last excursion to the CWSA here.
Please write myself or Mike G for directions to the shoot or with any other questions you may have.
My apologies for not remembering to put this up earlier in the week.
Or at least trying to intimidate him.
SEATTLE (AP)  Students from area universities, colleges and high schools rallied Monday outside a military recruiting station downtown, pounding on windows and demanding an end to U.S. operations in Iraq.
Protests also were staged outside recruiting stations north of Seattle and in the University District next to the University of Washington. Students called for an end to military recruitment in schools and said money spent on the war should be used to better fund all levels of public education.
The demonstrations downtown and in the University District each attracted three or four dozen protesters. There were no arrests.
Yes, at least a full 36 people showed up to harass military recruiters! What a show of force and will!
Jeez-louise.
This whole hubbub has been instigated by a woman named Amy Hagopian. Mz. Hagopian is the ‘co-chairwoman’ of the Parent-Teacher-Student association here in Seattle. She uses her skill of hyperbole, learned from being a leading bullshit artist for the dhimmitude-loving left, to scare parents and students.
She most recently showed off her skills at Seattle’s Garfield High School, where she was able to get a passing vote from the PTSA for the banning of military recruiters from the campus, therefore losing federal funding for the school under the Solomon Amendment.
As I wrote above, the protesters tried to intimidate recruiters from the USMC to punish them for the policies of a President Mz. Hagopian disagrees with. Of course, they did not succeed with their acts of intimidation. They are Marines, after all.

Former PM Reveals Secret Service Data on Birth of Al-Qaeda in Iraq
The number two of the al-Qaeda network, Ayman al-Zawahiri, visited Iraq under a false name in September 1999 to take part in the ninth Popular Islamic Congress, former Iraqi premier Iyad Allawi has revealed to pan-Arab daily al-Hayat. In an interview, Allawi made public information discovered by the Iraqi secret service in the archives of the Saddam Hussein regime, which sheds light on the relationship between Saddam Hussein and the Islamic terrorist network. He also said that both al-Zawahiri and Jordanian militant al-Zarqawi probably entered Iraq in the same period.
In Allawi’s view, Saddam’s government “sponsored” the birth of al-Qaeda in Iraq, coordinating with other terrorist groups, both Arab and Muslim. “The Iraqi secret services had links to these groups through a person called Faruq Hajizi, later named Iraq’s ambassador to Turkey and arrested after the fall of Saddam’s regime as he tried to re-enter Iraq. Iraqi secret agents helped terrorists enter the country and directed them to the Ansar al-Islam camps in the Halbija area,” he said.
If true, the left’s whole fluster could be gone because it’ll prove that we did find a weapon of mass destruction in Iraq. You saw him in his undies last week.
