Roy Jones Jr. Retires Felix Trinidad
By ross | January 20, 2008
Good for Roy Jones, Jr. Pensacola’s own RJJ has good reason to be happy. Well, aside from the $3 million purse. Roy showed everyone again what the best fighter “pound for pound” looks like.
It was a performance that reminded when Jones was declared the best “pound-for-pound” fighter in the world. The Pensacola resident, a Washington High graduate, flashed his speed, quick-strike ability and devastating power punches to fell Trinidad, 35, who had once ascended to the mantle of his weight division before retiring three years ago.
Shown here is one of two knockdowns that Roy gave Trinidad.

Huckabee To Pick Up Black Endorsement
By ross | January 20, 2008
This will be good news for the Huckabee campaign. Rev. Bill Owens, founder of the Coalition of African American Pastors, is expected to be endorsing Mike Huckabee’s run for president tomorrow, the official observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
In an interview with an AP reporter yesterday, Rev. Owens said this about Huckabee . . .
He has actually done what he talks about when it comes to the African-American community, rather than just pandering.
His observation of Huckabee (R-AR) walking the walk really matters to what families in communities are hoping for.

GOP History, On This Day In 1901
By ross | January 15, 2008
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968), thrust into the news from his grave in the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, was a Republican, and his political struggle was against Democrats. What? And here’s something else you did not kno
w, from Michael Zak.
On this day in 1901, the Alabama Democratic Party called for a convention to write a new state constitution that would prohibit African-Americans from voting. Despite vocal opposition from Booker T. Washington and other Republican civil rights activists, the Democrat scam succeeded.
Democrats dominated Alabama’s 1901 constitutional convention, and its chairman was a Democrat. In his opening address, he said: “If we would have white supremacy, we must establish it by law — not by force or fraud… The negro is descended from a race lowest in intelligence and moral precepts of all the races of men.”
Alabama’s African-American citizens would not vote in appreciable numbers again until the 1950s.
It was a Republican federal judge, Frank Johnson, who in 1956 ruled in favor of Rosa Parks and who in 1965 ordered the Democrat governor, George Wallace, to permit Martin Luther King’s voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery.
At the 2000 Republican National Convention, Condoleezza Rice said: “The first Republican I knew was my father and he is still the Republican I most admire. He joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did. My father has never forgotten that day, and neither have I.”
Democrats want Americans to forget that Republicans supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act much more than did the Democrats.
Republicans today would benefit tremendously from appreciating the true heritage of our Grand Old Party.

In case you missed it, the New York Times is doing a series devoted to making our war veterans into monsters. John Hinderaker at PowerLine nails it perfectly. A ‘must read.’

Today’s Special
By ross | January 13, 2008
Dennis Kucinich sure sounds like he’s stuck on stupid. He wants a recount. Wrong campaign Dennis. That was 8 years ago.
Democrat Dennis Kucinich, who won less than 2 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary, said Thursday he wants a recount to ensure that all ballots in his party’s contest were counted. The Ohio congressman cited “serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors” about the integrity of Tuesday results.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for making sure every vote gets counted. What’s different now is, I was all for it in the 2000 election too, but his party was not! That’s why hundreds of us were in front of the court house on election night to make sure that the military overseas votes would be counted. Some say that without our involvement and Joe Scarborough, that the election would have gone the other way.
Does the name John Burt sound familiar? He is an anti-abortion activist 
who was tied to violence at abortion centers, like one where a a few people, including an ‘abortion doctor,’ were shot and killed. Most recently though, he’s been appealing his case on ‘four counts of lewd or lascivious child molestation and one count of lewd/lascivious misconduct around . . .

Sir Edmund Hillary, First Man to Conquer Mount Everest, Dies at 88.
Sir Edmund Hillary, the unassuming beekeeper who conquered Mount Everest to win renown as one of the 20th century’s greatest adventurers, has died, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark announced Friday. He was 88.
Sen. Clinton has a touching story about how she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, world famous adventurer. Even though she was born way before Hillary climbed Mt. Everest. She has another touching story about how that happened.
Then there’s the advice a 911 operator had to tell a caller at the scene where a mother, who ‘didn’t know she was pregnant’, had a baby on the toilet and tried to flush it away.
Is the baby still in the toilet? YES . Take it out of the toilet.
Thankfully, the baby was revived and is OK. Thank goodness for the 911 operator, she saved a life. 911 operators often don’t get the credit they deserve for having to deal with people like that.
Ever seen a ‘fainting goat?’ A clip of a news story about a most peculiar breed of animals.
