Our New Sponsor!

And we're very pleased about it...

I've been running Politicalnightmare.com for 2 years now and I can honestly say I've never been more pleased to bring a sponsor on board.

During this time in American Politics, it's not difficult to discouraged. Our borders are wide open and our government doesn't seem to care. Washington is probably more corrupt now than ever in history. Politicians are so full of crap nowadays, you can't possibly get a straight answer from any of them.

In response to this growing discouragement, we here at Politicalnightmare.com are proud to announce are new partnership with a drug that will revolutionize the way you feel about American Politics.

We are proud to present our newest and largest sponsor for the 2006 election season! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Fukitol!

That's right America, why not take the stand 50% of our populous takes towards American Politics anyway, and let's completely eliminate voter turn out all together. Let's take voter apathy to a brand new level. To Hell with Washington, to hell with Republicans and Democrats. Don't we have enough to worry about in our daily lives as it is? With the help of Fukitol, we can put politics aside, sit on our couches, and just forget about life for a while.

Classic Clinton Spin...

To say the least...

You may or may not have caught the Bill Clinton interview on Fox News Sunday yesterday, but things got pretty heated when Chris Wallace questioned the former President about fueling bin Laden when he pulled out of Somalia back in 93. I could actually pick this entire interview apart if I had the time, but I just have a few minutes on lunch, so let me give you an example of the Clinton Spin tactics he is famous for when responding to the Somalia question.

In the interview, the former President said:

"They were all trying to get me to withdraw from Somalia in 1993 the next day after we were involved in Black Hawk down, and I refused to do it and stayed six months and had an orderly transfer to the United Nations."

And he said it with such confidence, anyone watching would assume that to be true. He even had me going. I had to look it up. And I'm glad I did.

First off, the transfer of control from the U.S. to the UN had taken place over 4 months prior to the Black Hawk Down incident. It was in May of 93 that the UN took over Operation Restore Hope and renamed it UNOSOM II. (source)

It was on October 3rd, 1993 that 18 US Soldiers were killed in the Battle of Mogadishu. And it was on October 8th, 1993 when the U.S. announced intent to withdrawl all US troops by 31 March 1994. (source)

Somalia Time Table:


So, while some troops did in fact stay for another 6 months, it only took 5 days for Clinton to announce his intentions to withdrawl. And that is what gave bin Laden his "paper tiger" theory. It only took 5 days of mourning the 18 lost troops before the lone remaining Super Power decided to cut and run. 5 days. Not, six months as Clinton would have you believe.

So, while the former President can be very convincing, the truth, once again, differs from what he says. While in a sense, he is correct, the troops did stay until March of 1994. But he announced their withdrawl 5 days after the Black Hawk Down incident occured.

So, who is re-writing history Mr. Clinton?

5 Years

It's been five long years. A lot has happened to us, our country and our spirit since then. We've seen the glory of our victories and suffered through the pain of our losses. Sometimes we still cry when we think what has been lost. Sometimes we get angry at what happened on that day.

I remember that day and the anger I felt as I watched people leap to certain death. I remember the anger I felt as I watched the buildings burn. I remember the anger I felt as I watched those buildings fall. I remember the anger I felt.

I remember the anger I felt as I watched the people around me sit in fear wondering what would happen next. I remember the fear in their eyes as they wondered what would happen next. I remember the tears in their eyes and the looks of disbelief as they realized nothing would ever be the same again. I remember the anger I felt.

I remember the questions my friends and co-workers asked me, as if I had some inside information about who would commit such a vicious attack. I remember thinking they're looking for strength and leadership. For my friends and co-workers, I hope I provided it. I remember the anger I felt not knowing if I had. I remember the anger I felt.

I remember my friends that went off to war and the prayers I said as they left the safety of home. I remember the regret I felt not being able to go with them. I remember the anger that followed. I remember the anger I felt.

I will never forget what happened on that day. I will never forget those that died running into the fire to do what they could. I will never forget the fear in the eyes that surrounded me. I will never forget the tears that filled them. I will never forget the feeling of helplessness. I will never forget my desire to take this enemy head on, and the disappointment that followed with no enemy in front of me.

I remember the anger, because I still feel it today.

"Im-gonna-need-a-job" to Visit the US

And this news story should appear a day or so later...

During his recent visit to the U.S. to speak at the United Nations, the Iranian President was shown around to various public schools, in order to observe our education system first-hand.

The teacher was going over words during the class, and asked the students to tell her what "disaster" meant.

The first kid said, "The Iranian President was visiting the United States, and he was accidentally given sweet and sour pork."

The teacher said, "No, that would be a misfortune, not a disaster."

The second kid said, "The Iranian President was visiting the United States, and his limo was run into by a pick-up truck."

The teacher said, "No, that would be an accident, not a disaster."

The third kid said, "The Iranian President was on his way to visit the United States, when his plane crashed for some unknown reason, killing everyone on board."

Suddenly President Ahmadinejad spoke up, and said, "You're exactly right - that WOULD be a disaster! How did you figure it out?"

The third kid said, "Because it wouldn't be a misfortune, and it sure as hell wouldn't be an accident!"
