The victory song of the Chicago White Sox was Don't Stop Believing by Journey. It looks like it's time to stop believing now because the Sox are not in the playoffs this year. Over the last few weeks, the players looked like they gave up and I'm sure this disappoints a lot of Chicagoans because the people of Chicago do not like quitters.
It looks like the AL playoff teams will be the Yankees, Tigers, Twins, and A's. I am picking the A's or Tigers to go to the World Series because I think the Yankees and Twins are pretenders.

Justin Raimondo On Rangel/Pelosi
Like I said yesterday, anyone with a brain can see through the Democrats defense of Bush. This is from an article by J. Raimondo of Antiwar.Com:
If there's a 3rd party on your ballot this November, vote for that 3rd party. The Democrats and Republicans are pulling one of the greatest con jobs ever on the American people.
Once again, the UN is entertaining – and that's not a good thing. Its ominous meaning is that the world crisis is deepening, but in the meantime we are in for quite a spectacle. Hugo Chávez stole the show the other day, with his remarks likening the president to the Devil, crossing himself and raising his eyes to heaven in a performance that almost brought down the house. Yet his speech – little more than a concatenation of epithets and windy proposals to "reform" the UN – didn't amount to very much. It was, nevertheless, an occasion for a lot of politicians and pundits to chime in with their reviews, mainly from liberal Democratic peacocks who took the opportunity to proudly display their "patriotic" credentials. Listen to that old fraud and blowhard Charlie Rangel give Chávez a Bronx cheer:
"You do not come into my country, my congressional district, and you do not condemn my president. If there is any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not. I just want to make it abundantly clear to Hugo Chávez or any other president, do not come to the United States and think because we have problems with our president that any foreigner can come to our country and not think that Americans do not feel offended when you offend our Chief of State."
If Rangel wants to propose a mutual nonintervention pact with Venezuela, I'm sure that would be fine by Chávez. The recent history of American meddling in Venezuelan affairs is substantial, to say nothing of the long record of U.S. support for ostensibly "anti-communist" juntas and coup leaders during the Cold War era. But the problem with Rangel's complaint goes beyond its brazen hypocrisy. One has to ask, why should criticism of the president be "restricted to Americans"?
If there's a 3rd party on your ballot this November, vote for that 3rd party. The Democrats and Republicans are pulling one of the greatest con jobs ever on the American people.

Bush Will Not Be Impeached
If the Democrats take over the House and/or the Senate, they will not seek to impeach Bush. What do I base this on? I base it on the recent comments by Pelosi and Rangel. Both of these cretins came to Bush's defense when Chavez called Bush a devil.
This is the 1st time I've seen them rush to defend Bush and to be honest, it's enough to make you never want to vote for a Democrat again. Numerous world leaders have criticized Bush over the past 4 years yet I did not see Rangel or Pelosi running to defend him in the past.
This defense of Bush is a political stunt by the Democrats to make them look more patriotic to the voting public. Let me explain. By defending Bush, they are trying to convince the public that despite the differences between Pelosi/Rangel(Democrats) and Bush(Republicans), they back him as president and will not let some leader from another nation put down their president(national leader).
The Democrats are bought off by the Israeli lobby as well and a lot of them are just as neoconservative as the Republicans. If they take over Congress, they will not impeach Bush because they are weak, spineless, and bought off by various groups. They will claim that they do not want to drag the nation through another impeachment and will try to present themselves as peacemakers who reach over to the other side of the political aisle.
I will advise everyone I know to vote against the Democrats because they are just as bad as the Republicans. We need major reform in our political system because this two party system(really one party) is not working.

Thinking About Enlisting In The Military?
Watch this video and do some research before you turn your life over to this Republican ruled government. If you have a thirst for battle, know the realities of war, and want to join the military, I would not try to stop you from joining.
But if you are just joining so that you can learn a trade or pay for college, I would tell you to consider other options because Bush's war on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, and probably Iran will not allow you to attend college classes or learn a trade that you can use in the real world(unless you plan on having a career as a member of a Swat team or as a NOC officer for the CIA).

Frank Thomas For MVP
While everyone is focused on Jeter, Ortiz, and Dye as possible winners of the MVP award, Frank Thomas is being overlooked. This man is practically carrying the A's in the playoffs and if he stays hot, he might lead the A's to the World Series.
The White Sox were stupid for letting this man go and they paid for it by getting swept by the A's and Frank Thomas. I doubt that Thomas will win the MVP because the fix is in for Derek Jeter but it would be nice to see him get it. Frank was the best player on the White Sox for years and he's proving to his doubters that he is still one of the best in the league.

The Israel Factor
Now this is truly unbelievable. A Jewish site now has their rankings on who would be the best President of the USA from Israel's points of view.
You can view the ranking by clicking here.
Israel has a lot of pull in American politics. Looking over their rankings, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Guiliani/Gingrich Vs Gore/Clinton. The ones ranked toward the bottom of the page will be subject to dirty tricks and bad press if they decide to run.
We need a president who will look out for America 1st instead of Israel 1st.

Senate Panel Defies Bush
The article title makes it sound like Bush is the supreme ruler of the United States. The only reason these senators are going against Bush is because there's an election in a couple of months.
Senate Panel Defies Bush Article
I've noticed that gas prices have slowly started to come down. Do you think this is a coincidence? The market is being manipulated to give the Republicans a boost in the November election. Once this election is over, watch gas prices go back up.

Blurring The Lines
I heard that Bush will speak right before ABC airs the Path to 9-11 film tomorrow. Most people cannot tell fiction from reality these days and that's exactly what the White House wants at this point in time. Republicans are banking on memories of 9-11 and terrorism to get them reelected in November.
The ABC movie/docudrama is nothing more than a propaganda film designed to brainwash the masses into thinking that what is in the movie is what really happened prior to 9-11.
The media is not liberal. Republicans would like us to think that the media is progressive/liberal but the media is corporate owned. They filter the news to the American public and seek to turn the majority of the population into obedient sheep.
Learn to think for yourself and do not rely on the corporate owned media for your news.

Senate: No pre-war Saddam, Qaeda link
Bush should be impeached because he lied to the American people and his right-wing hacks continue to lie to America every single day. This is from Rawstory/Yahoo:
Impeach Bush!
WASHINGTON - There's no evidence
Saddam Hussein had a relationship with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his Al-Qaida associates, according to a Senate report on prewar intelligence on
Iraq. Democrats said the report undercuts
President Bush's justification for going to war.
The declassified document being released Friday by the Senate Intelligence Committee also explores the role that inaccurate information supplied by the anti-Saddam exile group the Iraqi National Congress had in the march to war.
It discloses for the first time an October 2005
CIA assessment that prior to the war Saddam's government "did not have a relationship, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi and his associates."
Bush and other administration officials have said that the presence of Zarqawi in Iraq before the war was evidence of a connection between Saddam's government and al-Qaida. Zarqawi was killed by a U.S. airstrike in June this year.
The long-awaited report, said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., a member of the committee, is "a devastating indictment of the Bush-Cheney administration's unrelenting, misleading and deceptive attempts" to link Saddam to al-Qaida.
Impeach Bush!

Early Morning Training
If you're trying to lose weight and get in shape, you should start doing early morning workout. I usually do early morning workouts during the spring and summer when the weather is nice. During the fall and winter, I switch to doing most of my running and cycling at Bally's. Early morning workouts help to burn off the fat from your body in the most stubborn places because the primary energy source is fat.
This is from an article on early morning training:

This is from an article on early morning training:
When is the best time of day to do your cardio? The answer is any time! The most important thing is that you just do it. Continuous cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, jogging, stairclimbing, or cycling, sustained for at least 30 minutes, will burn body fat no matter when you do it. However, if you want to get the maximum benefits possible from every minute you invest in your workouts, then you should consider getting up early and doing cardio before you eat your first meal - even if you're not a "morning person." Early morning cardio on an empty stomach has three major advantages over exercising later in the day:
Early morning before you eat, your levels of muscle and liver glycogen (stored carbohydrate) are low. If you eat dinner at 7 p.m and you eat breakfast at 7 a.m., that's 12 hours without food. During this 12-hour overnight fast, your levels of glycogen slowly decline to provide glucose for various bodily functions that go on even while you sleep. As a result, you wake up in the morning with depleted glycogen and lower blood sugar - the optimum environment for burning fat instead of carbohydrate. How much more fat you'll burn is uncertain, but some studies have suggested that up to 300% more fat is burned when cardio is done in a fasted, glycogen-depleted state.
Morning Cardio Benefit #1
So how exactly does this work? It's quite simple, really. Carbohydrate (glycogen) is your body's primary and preferred energy source. When your primary fuel source is in short supply, this forces your body to tap into its secondary or reserve energy source; body fat. If you do cardio immediately after eating a meal, you'll still burn fat, but you'll burn less of it because you'll be burning off the carbohydrates you ate first. You always burn a combination of fat and carbohydrate for fuel, but depending on when you exercise, you can burn a greater proportion of fat relative to carbohydrate. If doing cardio first thing in the morning is not an option for you, then the second best time to do it would be immediately after weight training. Lifting weights is anaerobic (carbohydrate-burning) by nature, and therefore depletes muscle glycogen. That's why a post lifting cardio session has a similar effect as morning cardio on an empty stomach.
