Year: 2006

Now that President George Bush has declared Hezbollah defeated by its acceptance of the terms of a U.N. cease fire in Lebanon, the United States today will press the Security Council to grant it a similar ‘victory’ over al Qaeda. The U.S. proposal would call for “an end to the violence” between al Qaeda and […]

Tonight, I got in on a conference call with Rightroots endorsed candidate Mike McGavick, the Republican candidate for the Senate in Washington State. Bill Frist was there to introduce him to the bloggers, but McGavick did most of the talking. McGavick is an interesting guy. He got his start creating his own public affairs consulting […]

Over at the most popular liberal blog on the planet, the Daily Kos, Darksyde cites a few statistics that show how unlikely it is that any particular American would die in a terrorist attack and then explains that he couldn’t care less about stopping terrorism: “Here’s a message for both our homegrown Neoconservative, bloggy, gutless […]

Over at the ex-righty blog Balloon Juice, John Cole frowns on the new moniker that has started to catch on around the left side of the blogosphere, “people power,” — as in, “This is a victory for the people powered movement!” Here’s Cole: “It is just so hokey, so faux-populist, so nauseatingly poll-tested. There has […]

The New York Times is rambling on about the Bush Administration and the Geneva Convention today: In January 2002, when the Bush administration created the camp at Guantánamo Bay for prisoners from the war in Afghanistan, President Bush said he would be “adhering to the spirit of the Geneva Convention” in handling the detainees. Unfortunately, […]

Last week, when Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj got busted posting photoshopped pics as if they were real, I speculated that he was just, “the tip of the mountain.” Well, it looks like I was right. Via Allah at Hot Air, a couple of posts at Lightstalkers, a website for photographers and media workers, have come […]

Here is the mother of all bad political ideas for Republicans… “Columnist, blogger, novelist, and Army Reserve Col. Austin Bay (has anyone else ever had those credentials?) calls for a McCain-Lieberman ticket in 2008. A Republican McCain-Lieberman ticket. Is that a fantasy? It strikes me as less improbable than the Kerry-McCain ticket MainStream Media reporters […]

“WHEN will the Muslims of Britain stand up to be counted? When will they declare, loud and clear, with no qualifications or quibbles about Britain’s foreign policy, that Islamic terrorism is WRONG? Most of all, when will the Muslim community in this country accept an absolute, undeniable, total truth: that Islamic terrorism is THEIR problem? […]

Well, my gut instinct is that the fighting was stopped a few weeks too early and that the UN effort is doomed to failure, but it looks like there is a ceasefire that’s about to go into effect: “At the heart of the agreement lies the deployment to southern Lebanon of an international force of […]

One of the hottest congressional races in America right now is in Iowa’s first district where Rightroots Endorsed candidate Mike Whalen (R) is going toe to toe with Bruce Braley (D) for a seat currently held by Jim Nussle (who’s running for governor). Yesterday, I did a short interview with Mike Whalen and what follows […]

The first poll from CT., after the Democratic primary, is out and it seems that Lamont doesn’t have quite enough NedMentum: “Just released by Rasmussen (behind the subscription wall), in a three way race, Lieberman (I) leads Lamont (D) 46-41. Schlesinger has 6.” On the one hand, I thought Lieberman would have a bigger lead […]

The Democrats — for the most part — are trying to put up a stoic front about Joe Lieberman’s loss, as much as anything, so that they don’t offend Kos and his pals in the liberal blogosphere. But, as you can imagine, there’s probably a lot of grumbling behind the scenes about Ned Lamont’s victory […]

Don’t hold me to this because it’s still very early and there isn’t enough polling data out yet, but, at the moment, after taking a hard look at how the individual races are shaping up around the country, I see the GOP losing: 3 To 5 Senate Seats: The Dems would probably need to have […]

It’s August, the slowest time of the year for political bloggers and it’s Friday, the work day when the least amount of news tends to break. So, if I have to get a little creative to come up with content, you’ll have to forgive me =D This idea was stolen from Right Thinking Girl.

Here’s a particularly wacky statement that was in the comments section of the The Democratic Underground: Terror Threat? What Terror Threat? thread yesterday: “Remember, Remember Bush MIHOP. He seduced the American people into believing that the biggest threat to our existence was the A-rabs. Bush threw a dart at a map to determine which non-white […]

When freelance photojournalist Adnan Hajj’s camera caught shocking images of unbelievable destruction brought down upon the peaceloving Hizbollah people by a brutal Zionist aggressor, little did he know it would cause such a firestorm. It seems the photographs, published by Reuters and described as “IDF forces marching across a field of human skulls while firing […]

These people may be complete idiots, but you have to give them credit for having the courage of their convictions: “International and local activists are planning on Saturday to bring a civilian convoy to southern Lebanon, worst hit by Israel’s 28-day-old war on Hizbollah, to deliver aid and show solidarity with suffering residents. …One idea […]

If you want to get an idea of how useless the left has become at fighting terrorism, a trip to the Democratic Underground Forums today would be very instructive. Here we have a massive terrorist plot uncovered in Britain that may have been, “meant as next 9/11.” The terrorists were planning to take down multiple […]

Here we are, on a day the Democratic Party has purged their former vice presidential candidate from their ranks for being serious about the war on terror and we have a massive Al-Qaeda terror plot discovered. It’s quite a juxtaposition, isn’t it? Yes, even as the Democrats are demanding that their Party members abandon Iraq […]

A Breakdown Of CT. voters according to the 2006 Almanac of American Politics: 43% Independent 34.2% Democratic 22.9% Republicans If Joe Lieberman gets 60% of the Independent vote, which seems entirely plausible given Joe’s popularity with them and the fact that he’ll be running as an independent, that’s 25.8% of the electorate for him and […]

Mike Wallace came out of retirement to interview Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Wallace found him to be “an impressive fellow.” Indeed, he might have a little man-crush on him, remarking, “He’s actually, in a strange way, he’s a rather attractive man, very smart, savvy, self-assured, good looking in a strange way.” Twenty-seven years after a […]

That pic is from an emailed promo for a RNC web video called, Weak And Wrong: Meet The Defeat-ocrats. To the best of my knowledge, that is the first time either poltical party has actually used a blogger as a significant part of an attack ad. So, congrats to Kos for making history…making history for […]

The French have wimped out at the UN. Big shocker there. “The French-American alliance at the United Nations over a Mideast cease-fire agreement is crumbling, sources tell FOX News. The French U.N. delegation has joined with Arab nations and is now calling for a complete and immediate Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as a condition of […]
