Daily Commentary – Tuesday, May 26th, 2009 – Kiefer Sutherland’s Drinking Issues Going to his Head

  • Dana says it’s time for Jack Bauer to put down the booze. It’s not the first time that Kiefer Sutherland/Jack Bauer finds himself in trouble due to alcohol. Instead of making excuses, maybe it’s time to face reality. Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

Not again? If its a cruise ship, then someone must have gone overboard, again. This time the Bruce O'Krepkiincident happened aboard the Carnival Fantasy. At some point they are either going to have to put plexi-glass up around the perimeter of a ship like a Hockey Arena or a safety net around these ships.

18 year old Bruce O’Krepki has gone overboard on the cruise ship Carnival Fantasy Sunday night. O’Krepki is a recent high school graduate and was aboard the Carnival Fantasy with 35 other classmates. The US Coast Guard is searching for the missing 18 year old who went overboard about 150 miles southwest of Tampa, Florida.

Andy Rooney: Old Angry, Crotchety Liberal Just Can’t Honor America on Memorial Day

How absolutely, pathetically typical. Sadly, the following is a few too many minutes with Andy Rooney.

Okay, let’s just call Andy Rooney for what he is … a fool and an idiot. It is a sad and bitter man who uses Memorial Day for his political liberal agenda on war. Hey Andy, let’s all just sing Kumbaya and see if that protects liberty, freedom and lives. The fact that you cannot just say thank you is astounding. The fact that a miserable, old liberal can’t see the good in the fact that millions of people have been liberated from tyranny in the course of a war is so typical.

 
We use the phrase, gave their lives. But they didn’t give their lives, there lives were taken from them
There is more bravery at war than in peace, and it seems wrong that we have so often saved this virtue to use for our least noble activity – war.
The goal of war is to cause death to other people.
Remembering doesn’t do the remembered any good of course its for ourselves, the living.
 
So how out of touch is Andy Rooney with the public? According to a Rasmussen poll, 44% of Americans say Memorial Day, which honors those who gave their lives for our country, is one of the nation’s most important holidays. Just 7% rate it as one of the least important holidays. 75% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the U.S. military, you know Andy, those people that just like to kill others. Only 11% view the military unfavorably, while 14% are undecided and too busy texting their vote for American Idol.

Oops, He Did it Again … Kim Jung-Il and North Korea Test Another Nuke … Get Ready for Another UN Stern Warning

Oops, He did it again and guess what White House … he’s not that innocent.

Communist dictator, Kim Jung-Il of North Korea has tested yet another nuclear device. This time in response to the UN Security Council not apologizing for previous sanctions against North Korea. Hold the phone, The U.N. Security Council called an emergency meeting Monday after world leaders reacted with outrage to North Korea’s latest nuclear test. This time the UN Security Council is going to draft another weak, pathetic and useless memo condemning Kim Jung-Il that he will laugh at.

 Art imitating reality in Team America World Police. Warning: this version, all though more fitting and to the point also has graphic language, be warned.

North Korea earlier said it had tested the weapon in an underground explosion, provoking an angry response from the world’s governments.

It had threatened to conduct the test if the U.N. Security Council did not apologize for imposing sanctions on North Korea after it tested a rocket April 5.

The secretive communist state also apparently test-fired a short-range missile Monday, the White House said.

Is this more of the type of diplomacy we have to look forward to? Kim Jung Il and Madeleine Albright toasting glasses (H/T: Michelle Malkin)

There is no need to speculate whether Kim Jung Il conducted a second nuclear test, As Don Surber says, just ask him and the answer is “yes”.

Susan Boyle Advanced to Finals of “Britain’s Got Talent” Singing Memories from Cats … The Dream Continues

Here’s a shocker, Susan Boyle advances to the finals … Susan Boyle dream continues.

She is no mystery anymore, the world knows who Susan Boyle is now and they love her. Susan Boyle made it through the semi’s of “Britain’s Got Talent” singing the song ‘Memories’ from the musical Cats.

 
Britain’s unlikely singing sensation is now the clear cut odds on favorite to win it all. The only thing keeping Susan Boyle from a finals victory is if Tony Soprano and the boys are in charge of counting the votes.
 
What a difference a performance makes. Before her first performance, people were giggling and laughing at the 47 year old Scottish woman. Not any more. After nearly 81+ million views later on You Tube, no body is laughing anymore, they waited with anticipation to hear Susan Boyle’s amazing voice.
