20060523 How Dems Store Their Bribes

How Dems Store Their Bribes

"Bribeloc"

A Photoshop that I wish I had done.

You can do whatever you wish with the information, I liked the Photoshop art.

Nevertheless.

Does the word, “schadenfreude” come to mind?

Hot Air affiliate Flip Pidot of Suitably Flip, inspired by the Rep. William Jefferson case, has the photoshop of the day:

Meanwhile, Roger L. Simon notes Newt Gingrich's tin ear. Denny Hastert's got it, too. Glenn Reynolds has more.

20060521 KDDC Not Fonda Jane

Not Fonda Jane

Every year, this time of the year, a number of Internet e-mails make the rounds as to what Jane Fonda did or did not do, during the Vietnam War.

Although I am certainly no fan of Ms. Fonda, it is important to have some insight as to what actually happened and what is Internet fiction.

I just went to Snopes and read their take as to what is fact and fiction.

“

Claim: Jane Fonda betrayed U.S. POWs during the Viet Nam War.

Status: Multiple:

During a 1972 trip to North Vietnam, Jane Fonda propagandized on behalf of the North Vietnamese government, declared that American POWs were being treated humanely and condemned U.S. soldiers as "war criminals" and later denounced them as liars for claiming they had been tortured: True.

Jane Fonda handed over to their captors the slips of paper POWs pressed upon her: False.

In 1999, Jane Fonda was profiled in ABC's A Celebration: 100 Years of Great Women: True.

”

The article then gives some examples of some of the e-mails that are circulating…

Then, the article goes into great length describing what Snopes believes to be true and what happened. It is a good read. Read the rest of the lengthy article here: http://www.snopes.com/military/fonda.asp

As far as whether or not Ms. Fonda committed treason – here is the Treason Article of the Constitution, you decide for yourself…

The Constitution of the United States of America -- Article 3, Section 3:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attained.

Carroll Co. Vietnam Memorial

May 21st, 2006

Today I’ve been working on my next Westminster Eagle column and I stopped by the Carroll County Maryland Vietnam Memorial at Willis and Court Streets in Westminster.

The inscription on the black memorial lists has the following inscription and names:

“This memorial is dedicated to mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, husbands, sons, daughters, lovers, friends and most of all dreams of the men and women “from Carroll County” who risked it all in Vietnam.”
