The Jeff Scott Show  has finally returned for this semester, with a new time slot.  We will now be on Noon-2pm every Monday,  Wednesday, and Friday.  As you will  see, there are a few additional changes to the program…including right here on  JeffScottShow.com!  
  
  
 Not only does Hillary support a national ban on smoking in public  places (not a surprise), so does  “conservative” Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee (video).  Further proof that neither party cares  about liberty.
  
 Scientists are claiming that Los Angeles is in a 1000-year lull in seismic  activity.  Wait, I thought that “global warming” was supposed to cause MORE  earthquakes?  Somebody has some explaining to  do…
  
 The United  States is the most heavily armed country in the world, with 90 guns for every 100 people.  The Left is sure to hate this, but  consider the alternative:  Based on  experience in the United  Kingdom, gun crime would almost double if guns were banned.
  
 A United States Border Patrol official claimed that their job is  not to stop illegal immigrants, but only to stop terrorists.  He has since apologized, claiming that  he needs to do better “articulating his talking points.”
  
 This is an excellent column on National Review Online by Robert Rector  that shows how much “poor” Americans have.  Of  course, that’s not enough for Democrats such as John Edwards.
  
 Speaking of the poor, America’s poverty rate dropped last year.  But  of course, the talking point for the liberal media is the increase in the number  of Americans without health insurance.
  
 Government school teachers in Illinois are losing their job because  they don’t speak Spanish.
  
 NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to end dependency on government…with a bigger welfare program.  This looks intelligent when you call welfare  a tax credit.
  
 The Army’s frat party antics at Abu Ghraib weren’t organized abuse after all, just the antics of a few renegade soldiers.  I still promise there will be worse  abuse here at Mercer in the name of “brotherhood” in the next few months.  Potential pledges, watch out!
  
 “Crazy Aunt” Cynthia McKinney says that blacks should consider third parties.  Somehow I doubt that she  and I would agree on the best third party…
  
 Another person I thought I’d never agree with:  Fidel Castro says that Hillary-Obama is the winning Presidential ticket.
  
 A New  York judge upheld a NYC ban on the use of metal baseball  bats in high school games.  Hopefully more places will follow  suit.
  
 The Pope is at it again.   First he gave the world the “Ten Commandments for Drivers.”   Now, he’s busy condemning legal tax evasion.   It’s nice to know that there aren’t any more important religious issues,  such as a burgeoning threat from Islamic fundamentalism.  Catholics must be so proud.
  
 Since I just offended our radical jihadist friends, I should probably  point out that the United Nations is trying to solve the problem of Islamophobia.  Of  course, “Islamophobia” includes anything that might offend the  mullahs.
