The last time the Fighting Sioux won an NCAA titles there was a Democratic president in the White House. In fact when the Sioux won their 6th and 7th NCAA title while William Jefferson Clinton was president of the United States of America.

The Republican party has been less kind to the Fighting Sioux, who went 0-5 with George W. Bush in the White House; 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

Here is an interesting story. This is the second known time that this has happened.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - U.S. border police arrested seven Mexican soldiers after they accidentally strayed over the international boundary into Arizona, authorities said.

The U.S. Border Patrol said agents encountered the troops in a Humvee a short distance north of the border near Yuma, in far west Arizona, early on Friday.

“The Border Patrol agents on scene established a dialogue with the subjects, who identified themselves as members of the Mexican military,” the Border Patrol said in a news release.

“The ... agents informed them of their presence within the United States. Upon notification, the subjects were peaceably taken into custody,” it added.

The soldiers, who were assigned to the 23rd Regiment Motorized Cavalry of the Mexican Army, said they had become disoriented while on patrol and had accidentally crossed the international boundary, the Border Patrol said.

After relieving them of their arms, agents took the soldiers to the San Luis, Arizona, port of entry where they were processed and repatriated to Mexico, along with their weapons and vehicle.

The incursion was the second by Mexican troops in recent months.

In August, a group of four Mexican soldiers briefly held a U.S. Border Patrol agent at gunpoint in a remote stretch of the Arizona desert after they mistakenly strayed north across the border.

This is a very real fear that some people including myself have. I feel that NOBAMA has lied about this record on gun ownership and that with a major of left leaning partisan hacks like himself that leftards will enact legislation that will confiscate guns and trample on gun rights. This why we must reject NOBAMA. This why we must reject NOBAMA and vote for McCain Palin.

Ifound this post on the politico and it is great. I think it is very accurate of what is about to happen when you start re-distributing wealth to people who didn’t earn it.

Yesterday on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money”. I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on an “Obama 08” Button, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference—just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need—I pointed out the homeless guy outside.

The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was very grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient “lacked” the money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

CBS 3 of Philly has also been thrown under the bus by the NOBAMA campaign for daring to ask Plugs Biden tough questions.

This would be really good news and it is time for the Jack Murtha to be seen home.

Two veteran warriors battling to represent the 12th Congressional District appear locked in the closest race in the district in years.

Democratic Rep. John Murtha leads retired Army Lt. Col. William Russell by a little more than 4 percentage points, within the Susquehanna Poll’s 4.9-point margin of error. The poll of 400 likely voters was conducted for the Tribune-Review on Tuesday, amid uproar over Murtha’s statement that some of his constituents are racist.

Stanley Shemanski, 67, a retired meat cutter who lives in Apollo, said he’s undecided about the congressional race. He doesn’t know much about Russell, but he’s upset with Murtha’s comment that racism in the district could hurt Democrat Barack Obama’s chances.

<----snip---->

About 54 percent of voters among those polled say it’s time for someone else to represent them in Congress. About 35 percent say Murtha deserves to be re-elected.

“The most important variable here is that a decisive majority say it’s time for a new person,” said Jim Lee, president of Susquehanna Polling and Research. He attributed some of the unhappiness with Murtha to the congressman’s recent comments.

It’s tough to know how big a factor that is, though, because little attention had been paid to the race, Lee said. Political analysts didn’t expect Murtha to be vulnerable.

Here is an intereting article that I found on line. Funny thing this article hits on a few things that I have noticed recently from the NOBAMA campaign. It seems everytime you attack NOBAMA on his record and associations you considered a racist.

Obama plays the race card cleverly
By Charles Krauthammer—- 10/19/2008

Let me get this straight: A couple of agitated yahoos in a rally of thousands yell something offensive and incendiary, and John McCain and Sarah Palin are not just guilty by association — with total strangers, mind you — but worse. They are guilty, according to The New York Times of “race-baiting and xenophobia.” But should you bring up Barack Obama’s real associations — 20 years with Jeremiah Wright, working on two foundations and distributing money with William Ayers, citing the raving Michael Pfleger as one who helps him keep his moral compass (Chicago Sun-Times, April 2004) and the long-standing relationship with the left-wing vote-fraud specialist ACORN — you have crossed the line into illegitimate guilt by association.

Moreover, it is tinged with racism.

The fact that, when John McCain actually heard one of those nasty things said about Obama, he incurred the boos of his own crowd by insisting that Obama is “a decent person that you do not have to be scared (of) as president” makes no difference. It surely did not stop John Lewis from comparing McCain to George Wallace.

The search for McCain’s racial offenses is untiring and often unhinged. Remember McCain’s Berlin/celebrity ad that showed a shot of Paris Hilton? An appalling attempt to exploit white hostility at the idea of black men “becoming sexually involved with white women,” fulminated New York Times columnist Bob Herbert. He took to TV to denounce McCain’s exhumation of that most vile prejudice, pointing out McCain’s gratuitous insertion in the ad of “two phallic symbols,” the Washington Monument and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Don’t you just love these liberal buffoons? Palin eats some clowns lunch and the crowd enjoys it.

Last Wednesday night I was out hunting with my buddy Mark at the Dakota Hunting club and things went really good up until the point where my dog got sprayed by a skunk. Let me tell you that was not a fun experience, my dog got birdie and I thought there would be a pheasant in the air. We waited and waited and waited and I walked over to see my dog with his nose in a Skunk’s ass.

When I saw what was going on I drug Dakota him out of there; but the damage has been done Dakota got sprayed in the face. My first instinct was to shoot the disgusting animal (the skunk) but I didn’t think it would make anything better but he was facing me with his tail, then we would have had two smell beings. After getting sprayed Dakota was rolling around in the grass and I have to admit that I really didn’t know what to do, I had my dog 4 1/2 years and he had never been sprayed by a skunk. I mean I keep a really close eye on my dog in the field. In your mind you run the options through you head what can you do. 1.) You can’t leave your dog out in the field there because he smells. 2.) the hunting vehicle is going to gain a new smell. Hum, the resell vehicle might take a hit. A new air freshener wet dog smell and skunk. Let me tell you that it is not good for your dog to get sprayed by a skunk. Every time he got wet this past weekend out duck hunting there was the slight smell of skunk.

Thanks to my Buddy Trin I took Dakota over to the house and washed him in dish soap, peroxide and baking soda. That worked for the most part and we ended up washing him again when I got home. The next day I went to Petco and got some Nature’s Miracle but that really didn’t work as great as I thought it would…

About four baths later my dog is finally almost starting to smell 100% skunk free…

Frank has to be a moron if he doesn’t think he has a hand this crisis. Also, I love how Bill leave Frank bumbling and stumbling at the end.

It is about time they look into this ethically challenged member of the house. This guy should be forced out of the house like they did to Mark Foley.

Use Of Congressional Stationery, Harlem Apartments Among Items On Inquiry
WASHINGTON (CBS) ― CBS 2 has learned the House of Representatives will conduct an inquiry into Rep. Charles Rangel, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

The ethics committee of Congress announced they established a subcommittee to investigate Rangel, who has already been in plenty of hot water recently.

One stunning part of the determination is that the committee decided to investigate his use of congressional stationery in three separate years to seek donors for a public policy institute in his name at City College.

The committee will also investigate Rangel’s use of four rent-stabilized apartments leased in the Lenox Terrace apartment complex in Harlem, the financing of the beachfront villa leased in the Dominican Republic, and his questionable storage of a late-model Mercedes Benz in the house garage.

In a statement the committee said it will determine whether Rangel “violated the Code of Official Conduct, or any law, rule, regulation or other standard of conduct applicable to his conduct in the performance of his duties.”

The committee gave no indication of how long the probe will take.

This is why readership is failing at the New York Slimes. They keep reporting news for NOBAMA campaign but fail to cover anything against BHO that is negative. Most people with half a brain (except for the liberal trolls that frequent this blog) know that the New York Times is an extreme far left rag that doesn’t even hid the fact that it cheer leads for the NOBAMA campaign. The New York Times has become a disgrace vile example of journalism because the Times has joined themselves at the hip with the Moveon.org of the world and a left wing propaganda machine.

In my opinion that the New York Times is no better than hate sites like the Huffington post and the daily kos. Good for McCain for calling them on it.

A Partisan Paper of Record

Today the New York Times launched its latest attack on this campaign in its capacity as an Obama advocacy organization. Let us be clear about what this story alleges: The New York Times charges that McCain-Palin 2008 campaign manager Rick Davis was paid by Freddie Mac until last month, contrary to previous reporting, as well as statements by this campaign and by Mr. Davis himself.

In fact, the allegation is demonstrably false. As has been previously reported, Mr. Davis separated from his consulting firm, Davis Manafort, in 2006. As has been previously reported, Mr. Davis has seen no income from Davis Manafort since 2006. Zero. Mr. Davis has received no salary or compensation since 2006. Mr. Davis has received no profit or partner distributions from that firm on any basis—weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual—since 2006. Again, zero. Neither has Mr. Davis received any equity in the firm based on profits derived since his financial separation from Davis Manafort in 2006.

Further, and missing from the Times’ reporting, Mr. Davis has never—never—been a lobbyist for either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Mr. Davis has not served as a registered lobbyist since 2005.

Though these facts are a matter of public record, the New York Times, in what can only be explained as a willful disregard of the truth, failed to research this story or present any semblance of a fairminded treatment of the facts closely at hand. The paper did manage to report one interesting but irrelevant fact: Mr. Davis did participate in a roundtable discussion on the political scene with...Paul Begala.

Again, let us be clear: The New York Times—in the absence of any supporting evidence—has insinuated some kind of impropriety on the part of Senator McCain and Rick Davis. But entirely missing from the story is any significant mention of Senator McCain’s long advocacy for, and co-sponsorship of legislation to enact, stricter oversight and regulation of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—dating back to 2006. Please see the attached floor statement on this issue by Senator McCain from 2006.

To the central point our campaign has made in the last 48 hours: The New York Times has never published a single investigative piece, factually correct or otherwise, examining the relationship between Obama campaign chief strategist David Axelrod, his consulting and lobbying clients, and Senator Obama. Likewise, the New York Times never published an investigative report, factually correct or otherwise, examining the relationship between Former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson and Senator Obama, who appointed Johnson head of his VP search committee, until the writing was on the wall and Johnson was under fire following reports from actual news organizations that he had received preferential loans from predatory mortgage lender Countrywide.

Therefore this “report” from the New York Times must be evaluated in the context of its intent and purpose. It is a partisan attack falsely labeled as objective news. And its most serious allegations are based entirely on the claims of anonymous sources, a familiar yet regretful tactic for the paper.

We all understand that partisan attacks are part of the political process in this country. The debate that stems from these grand and sometimes unruly conversations is what makes this country so exceptional. Indeed, our nation has a long and proud tradition of news organizations that are ideological and partisan in nature, the Huffington Post and the New York Times being two such publications. We celebrate their contribution to the political fabric of America. But while the Huffington Post is utterly transparent, the New York Times obscures its true intentions—to undermine the candidacy of John McCain and boost the candidacy of Barack Obama—under the cloak of objective journalism.

I can’t be the only one that is getting sick of open borders leftists and the environmental fascist movement? Now we can’t enforce the laws because it will hurt he desert? Where do these moon bats get off? This is the kind of crap we are going to get if we elect a Marxist president with a moon bat senate and house. Hell we can’t even drill for OUR OWN natural resources anymore.

Now we are to believe that the U.S. Border Patrol is abusing aliens. Nope, I don't think so. Just because some blame America first, leftards says something is happening doesn't mean it is true.

Arizona Group Accuses Border Patrol of Routinely Abusing Illegal Aliens

Thursday, September 18, 2008

By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – No More Deaths, an Arizona group that favors amnesty for illegal aliens, issued a report Wednesday alleging that U.S. Border Patrol agents routinely mistreat illegal aliens, a charge disputed by the Border Patrol, which says it investigates all reports of abuse and holds agents accountable for their treatment of illegal aliens.



In addition to chronicling alleged abuses of illegal aliens, the report concludes with “Faith Based Principles for Immigration Reform.” The first of these is: “Recognize that the current Militarized Border Enforcement Strategy is an ill-conceived policy.” The second is: “Address the status of undocumented persons currently living in the US.”



“The border blockade strategy has militarized the US-Mexico border, which drives migrants into remote desert regions yet has failed to stem the flow of immigrants into the United States,” the explanation of the first principle states.



“Further, the fragile desert environment has sustained severe damage as a result of migrants moving through remote desert regions and responding enforcement patrols,” it adds.(Read the rest of the story here)

When I was watching the Wild practice today at REA I got to thinking; which logos are
gone and which logos stay? What will a million dollars remove. You also have to wonder what will be put back in it’s place. There will be a lot of empty space.

The Rink Rat had a pretty good post in the logo article that I wrote this weekend.
Check it out:

I’ve long been of the opinion that the most practical move for the University is to keep the logo and nickname, and just live with the consequences. I think they could make a pretty penny on special “tournament edition” jerseys that just have “North Dakota” on them in white script on a green jersey.

Meanwhile, the Ralph wouldn’t be able to host NCAA tournament games again. No big deal: the NCAA wants more neutral sites anyway, and besides, there’s no way another regional at the Ralph could top 2006, with the Sioux going to the Frozen Four and Minnesota losing to Holy Cross.

As for the other sports, well, with the transition to D-I, it’ll probably be a while before any of them have to worry about hosting playoff games.

Maybe, when that becomes a concern, they could do something with hockey like what Long Beach State does with baseball. Every other LBSU team is the 49ers, but the baseball team is the Dirtbags (the fact that Jason Giambi is a Dirtbag has given me no shortage of amusement). Maybe the hockey team could stay the Sioux to keep Ralph’s will happy, then they could change the name of the other teams.
