THE EYE KNOWS


Grant's Eye on the World

As we inch closer and closer to the elections, the Democrats have more and more to say. Less and less truth, but more and more to say. Face it, they might have some problems this off year election. BUT REMEMBER folks, they made up 10 points in the street last time, and they're already up to their dirty tricks so make sure you get out and vote. You've got about 4 weeks here, so prepare for it. You going to be gone? Request an absentee ballot --- NOW.

It's time to play 'Truth or Consequences'


Man! Any readers here remember the Truth or Consequences game show? I know there are some, but probably not many. Anyway, we've got someone telling so many un-truths we need a "Truth Alert".

Barbra Streisand - Truth Alert.htm; October, 2002


This is the first time I've ever quoted from a home page, but since it's so hilarious I can't resist it.

If...sometime within the last 7 days a falsehood has been written in print, spoken on radio, or aired on television about Ms. Streisand...the TRUTH ALERT will contain a statement made by Ms. Streisand and/or her representatives to correct that falsehood. Current falsehood corrections will appear in the section called "Truth Alert." After one week all "Truth Alerts" will be transferred to the Truth Archive.
Remember this 'broad' was the premiere Clinton apologist and biggest backer of the ex-impeached liar in chief. What does that tell you? Rumor is, Billie-bob could not have a Truth Alert section on his web site because there just isn't enough memory to record all the corrections and no one could take that much time out to actually read them.

It seems that when the Republicans don't like what you say, they attack you on the lowest and least pertinent level. At least, that was the way a Republican source leaked a private memo which had been sent by Barbra Streisand to House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt. The manner in which this memo was leaked obliterated the imperative message of the note by drawing attention only to the fact that a few words had been misspelled.
Looking at my commentaries over the years I've said time and time again that liberals accuse others for the things they are guilty of. "What's that, Eye? You're such a cynic." Well anyone here want to spell 'potato'? It cost Dan Quayle a nomination.

THE IRONIC FURTHER TRUTH.. Hidden in this example of diverted news priorities is the fact that Barbra Streisand is a former spelling bee champion, meticulous in her written communications!
Well thanks Babs. You can spell. So spelling is a qualification for political idealism now? Must be, Algore perhaps majored in spelling at Vanderbilt University. He flunked out of grad school there too by the way. Too? Yeah too! He dropped out of Yale grad school first. Guess he couldn't spell 'concede'.


Let's Give This Guy Another Chance


How two elected officials can fraternize with the enemy and denounce their own president and not be charged with treason is beyond me. How these guys were elected is beyond me, but you can only hope the voters in Washington will remove one of them from office in November.

Democrats Defend Visit to Iraq; By Jim Abrams; Associated Press Writer; October 2, 2002
All I can say is 'Keep it up!' The more the Democrats try to oppose W the more ridiculous they appear.

Two Democratic congressmen, brushing off criticisms they were aiding the enemy, said Wednesday their mission to Iraq succeeded in impressing on Iraqis that war was likely if they did not agree to unfettered inspections of weapons stockpiles.
Yeah right. They claimed that Bush is capable of lying and misleading the American people. Further more they claimed we should take the Baghdad Butcher at his word.

McDermott said he was stunned by "the extent to which the Iraqi people are ready to fight house-to-house." He asked whether the United States should "be taking on this country all by itself when the Arab world is now seething with recruits for Osama bin Laden."
Anyone here believe this crapola? If you do, you are as dumb as these two morons. Question for you Mac, is gun ownership in Iraq legal? What are these people going to fight with? (shaking head)

House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, said McDermott was "totally out of touch with the most fundamental tenet of congressional responsibilities" and that he and other liberals had "just basically regressed to their childhood days of Vietnam War protests."
Out of touch? Understatement if you ask me. While you're at it, include Billie-bob in those protest implications.

McDermott said he was not a pacifist but had "a responsibility as a patriot, as someone who loves his country, to speak up for what I believe." War, added Bonior, "destroys lives in such a profound way."
Something must have happened along the way I guess. Can I quote you on that profundity here Mac? However I'd like to add that the purpose of war is 'to kill people and break things'.

McDermott stressed that "I don't trust Saddam Hussein under any circumstances," but said President Bush had confused the issue by shifting the issue from disarmament, which could be accomplished diplomatically, to regime change, which would require war.
If you listened to his spew while sucking up to Saddam in Baghdad, he claimed we should trust him at his word. What gives Mac? Oh, that's it. Polls out and elections 4 weeks away. Thought you'd backtrack. Problem is Mac, we don't forget these things here.


Poor Ted is Going Broke


Who really is worried about Ted Turner's investments?

DRUDGE REPORT;SEPT 30, 2002; TED TURNER FIGHTS TO KNOCK CASE OUT OF AOLTIMEWARNER
Teddy is beside himself. His stock holdings in this merger have declined big time. Gosh, who really is going to sweat this out the most? Any ideas?

Turner has grown increasingly irate at the disappointing performance of the AOL division, the federal investigations into its accounting, and the resulting decline in the stock price [nearly 70% off its high], the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to front on Tuesday, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
Ted's problems are mounting, but who really is crying the loudest?

Turner's feelings about Case have changed drastically since the merger was announced more than two years ago. Then, he compared his excitement over the merger to "the first time I made love." The two men became friends and even invested together in a health food company, reports the paper's Dave Kirkpatrick.
(snicker snicker) Hey Ted, does this mean you won't be making love tonight? (snicker snicker)

But the turning point came in July, when, traveling in Paris, Turner read a series of articles from the WASHINGTON POST about unusual accounting at AOL that may have temporarily inflated its profitable advertising sales around the time of the merger. It was then that Turner, furious AOL might have misled TIMEWARNER shareholders, began changing his view of Case.
(Gasp!) How can this be? How can they do this to a man of your stature Ted? Oh, by the way, Billie-bob and Algore cooked the books by 30% their last two years in office. All said and done anyone have an answer as to who is sweating this out the most? Why, the U.N. of course. Teddy promised to give them $7 billion of his own money. He's forced to renege. Now the commies in the U.N. don't trust him. Tsk tsk, such is life. Maybe Billie-bob can loan you some money. He and Broom Hillary have some huge book advances. Course those books are cooked too.


Nature Takes Care of Her Own


Nature is pretty resilient. She always bounces back. Look at global warming. What's that Eye you believe in global warming? Sure, look at the records. The ancient Romans conquered Britain and planted vineyards. Any vineyards in Britain today? NO! Why not? It's too cold to raise grapes in Britain today.

Arctic pollution causing polar bears to change sex; By Charles Arthur Technology Editor; Independent UK; 2 October 2002
You gotta respect Mother Nature, for she is looking out for our best interests.

Environmental and animal groups are calling for a global ban on the production of the chemicals to safeguard the future health of those groups. Some scientists believe the PCBs are leading to "gender-bender" polar bears in Norway and Greenland, after the discovery of a number of female bears which had both male and female sexual organs.
Ho hum. Another stupid enviro scare article. "What's wrong with you, Eye? Can't you see all our animal friends are supporting both sets of sex organs?" Remember the cry of the 6 legged frogs in swamps of Wisconsin and Minnesota? They blamed it on the toxins released by farm fertilizers and pesticides. The truth came out later that it was caused by parasites in the swamp water, er sorry, wetlands. You didn't see all those articles correcting those false claims now, did you?

So I fail to see a problem here folks. I see a solution. Look at all the taxpayer money to be saved in San Francisco. Stick around long enough and feed this stuff to the transgender crowd in SFO and they won't need to spend money for their sex change operations. Nature always finds a way. Even in San Francisco.


This is a joke, right?


I have a hard time with these mainstream news people. They really suffer from a shallow thought process.

U.S. Assures It Does Not Seek to 'Conquer' Iraq; By Carol Giacomo, Diplomatic Correspondent; Reuters; October 5, 2002
Our British brothers at Reuters just don't get it.

The Bush administration, responding to criticism it has not planned sufficiently for a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq, promised on Saturday its military forces would not enter the country as "conquerors" or treat the Iraqi people as a "defeated nation."
Does this even need a response? I mean, do these namby pamby whining crybaby Euro weenies need to even bring up this subject?

"We will not enter Iraq as conquerors. We will not treat the Iraqi people as a defeated nation," he said, reading from a written statement.
Why do these sniffling Euro chickens need reassurance? Remember now, America saved their sorry behinds when they were chasing Hitler for his signature on meaningless pieces of paper.

Another senior U.S. official told Reuters separately that Washington opposes naming a transitional government now in part because the Iraqi opposition has failed to stop its infighting long enough to agree on a democratic vision for the country.
Watch it, Eye! You might insult our European allies. Yeah right. If they are that stupid to demand reassurances that the USA is not going to take over Iraq and the world, let them revisit their own sorry situation after WW2. Did America take over Europe? Did America grab Japan? Did America take over Iraq after the Gulf War? We had ample opportunity each time. See any pattern here? America liberates! You got that Reuters? You should. They liberated your butts from Hitler.
