The Fernando Poniente Show

I haven’t seen the Movie yet and I’m sick of it already. Michael Moore’s new gig “Sicko” is creating quite a stir. Believe me I won’t waste my money on that one, even if they’re giving it away for free , well maybe (to Burn) . Jacob Laskin of Frontpagemag.com has the rundown

Ask Americans what they think about health care and you’re bound to get
conflicting answers. On the one hand, polls
show that the country is broadly dissatisfied with the cost and administration
of the current system and find qualified support for universal health insurance.
On the other hand, Americans overwhelmingly reject the reduced choice in doctors
and treatments, as well as the waiting lists and rationed care that are the
attendant features of the socialized “universal” model. There is, it seems, no
simple cure for the system’s ills.
Step forward Michael
Moore. In each succeeding venture, Hollywood’s favorite guerilla
documentarian has managed to reduce politically fraught issues like gun
ownership (Bowling for Columbine), and the war on terror (Fahrenheit 911) to
intellectually shallow agitprop that revels in naming enemies — it’s the NRA’s
fault!; it’s the Bush administration’s fault! — while offering little in the
way of substantive argument. As entertainment, Moore’s films are watchable; as
political commentary, they are often execrable (recall the kite-flying
children in supposedly serene Saddam-era Iraq from Fahrenheit).

Hugo Chavez and the Chaviztas are somehow in delusion that US is going to attack them soon. Hugo Chavez got them all hyped up dressed in olive green fatigues and a red beret, Chavez spoke inside Tiuna Fort - Venezuela’s military nerve-center - before hundreds of uniformed soldiers standing alongside armored vehicles and tanks decorated with banners reading: “Fatherland, Socialism, or Death! We will triumph. YEY!! Under Chavez, Venezuela has recently purchased some $3 billion worth of arms from Russia, including 53 military helicopters, 100,000 Kalashnikov rifles, 24 SU-30 Sukhoi fighter jets. “We are strengthening Venezuela’s military power precisely to avoid imperial aggressions and assure peace, not to attack anybody,” he said Sunday.

An Iron Fist
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.
He immediately grabbed the person’s wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened.
“I guess he thought I was an easy mark,” Barnes, 72, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story Tuesday.
He’s anything but an easy mark: Barnes served in the Marines, was an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer and retired after 20 years as an iron worker.
Jesse Daniel Rae, the 27-year-old Newaygo County man accused of trying to pick Barnes’ pocket, was arraigned Monday in Rockford District Court on one count of unarmed robbery, a 15-year felony. ……… read more or you get punch in the face

But Court says it should stay.

A priest Friday identified the image as a 16th century Russian Orthodox icon called “Christ the Savior,” — most likely a reprint. In the picture, Jesus is shown holding open a book to display two pages, each with a biblical quotation about judging correctly and wisely. The quotations are written in Russian.

The ACLU’s letter to the court said the display “clearly gives the impression that only believers in the law of Jesus Christ will receive justice in that courthouse.”

Ok, so only those who believe? so what is the Law of Christ?
Jesus has assured us, “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). Paul told disciples, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God - not because of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8f). The grace of God appeared, teaching us (Titus 2:11f). The gospel is the message of grace to be believed for salvation (Mark 16:15f). We are saved by grace; however, under Moses’ law men had sought justification by law, and there is great tendency for disciples to seek righteousness through keeping of a supposed system of law also.

Besides the picture, the display includes the words: “To Know Peace, Obey These Laws.” The ACLU wants both the picture and words removed.

Christ teaches us to obey the Law wether be the law of Moses or Law of Ceasar. ACLU is teaching non-believers to disobey the Law ( whatever law that may be.)

New Trend, I’m pretty sure .

(AP) AGUAS CALIENTES, Peru - Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion faux pas in Peru. The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated “Shrek” films may have inadvertently offended Peruvians who suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring here Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong’s favorite political slogans.

While explored the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in Peru’s Andes, Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao’s most famous political slogan.

(update) A Perfect Storm of ignorance?

Oh come on… Do you really believe this?

If there’s any good news about morning sickness, this may be it. Women who experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy may have a lower risk of breast cancer later in life, according to new research.
Dr. Jo Freudenheim from the University at Buffalo in New York reported the finding this week in Boston, at the annual meeting of the Society for Epidemiologic Research.
Freudenheim and her colleagues interviewed 1001 women with recently diagnosed breast cancer, ages 35 to 79, and 1917 “control” subjects matched to the case patients by age, race and county of residence.
Several pregnancy-related factors — pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and weight gain — were evaluated, but had no significant effect on future incidence of breast cancer.
In contrast, pregnancy-associated nausea and vomiting was associated with about a 30 percent lower risk of breast cancer. Greater severity and longer duration of the symptoms reduced the risk even further.
Freudenheim cautioned, however, that this is an epidemiologic study, so the findings should not be “over-interpreted.” Confirmation of their findings, she added, will require replication in other populations.

Actually it’s been proven that a lot of women who end their pregnancy early whether on purpose or accident and don’t get pregnant and therefore, don’t breastfeed their child end up with spoiled milk in the breasts which causes breast cancer. Don’t get me wrong, probably not all women with breast cancer did/didn’t do that, but it does increase their risk of breast cancer greatly if they did/didn’t do that.

The good news is that Jesus Christ can heal anybody and He won’t give anybody more than they can bear with HIS help.

People Power?

The Philippines dropped coup d’etat charges on Friday against an ex-army colonel who won a seat in the upper house of Congress.

The Philippines dropped coup d’etat charges on Friday against an ex-army colonel who won a seat in the upper house of Congress, fueling speculation of a possible deal to dilute the opposition control of the Senate.
Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez told reporters he granted a motion filed by lawyers of Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan to dismiss charges the newly elected senator had masterminded a mutiny of 300 army officers in 2003.
“I just dismissed it,” Gonzalez said, showing a copy of the 19-page resolution reversing a decision by state prosecutors to indict Honasan for an attempt to overthrow President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
“The evidence is not strong in so far as the Oakwood mutiny is concerned. There was no overt evidence to link him to the commission of the crime.”
“We are relieved and thankful for the accordance of the due process,” Danilo Gutierrez, Honasan’s lawyer, told reporters on learning of the government’s decision to withdraw the case.
Political analysts believed there could be a political deal between Arroyo and Honasan because her government was trying to win more allies in the opposition-dominated Senate.

New arms deals may be signed during Moscow visit of Chavez - official

PARIS. June 20 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian state-owned arms trader Rosoboronexport does not rule out the possibility that new contracts with Venezuela could be signed during the upcoming visit of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Russia.
“Both counties are willing to continue cooperation, including the naval component but not only that. We have drafted many contracts on armaments for the ground forces but no final decision on them has been made,” Rosoboronexport CEO Sergei Chemezov told Interfax-AVN at the Paris air show.

Yea more dead in Iraq, I wonder why? Maybe because we’re at War.

The U.S. command announced Thursday the deaths of 14 more American troops, most killed in powerful roadside bombs in Baghdad. Thick, black smoke rose from the heavily fortified Green Zone after a mortar barrage as militants struck back despite a massive military offensive.

But as always, attacks claimed far more Iraqi lives.

Yup we usually keep track on innocent dead Iraqis and Us Military Personnel. (only) yea
