Year: 2007

Could happen up here in Canada, where the free speech “climate” is frigid at the best of times. Yes, you read that correctly: the Canadian site is in trouble for re-posting a 5-year-old article from WorldNetDaily! All it takes is one dedicated trouble making “do gooder” and a website’s owners can be brought to court. […]

Forty-nine percent of likely voters […]

Millions upon millions of people go shopping the day after Thanksgiving, nicknamed Black Friday. I usually avoid this at any cost possible.

If you’ve never watched a NASCAR race and made the comment that you were surprised the drivers stayed Republican because they make nothing but left turns, you’re not a redneck, probably have never voted Republican in your life and live at least out of the broadcasting range of a country music station (meaning you’re either […]

You might remember Sunsara Taylor taking on Bill O’Reilly back on March 19th, 2007 (not a typo. The post was on the 20th, show on 19th.) It wasn’t pretty. Bill seemed to get to a point where he was saying “I just can’t do it. It would be easy to destroy her.” Well, good news! […]

Morning, y’all, Jebediah Murphy here on another fine White Trash Wednesday. But, hey, I done run across an interesting story at that thar Defeatocratic Underground, which has apparently been missed by most of the MSM and those of us here in the ‘sphere. The Washington Post was nice enough to have a small blurb on […]

Today is Fred’$ Giving Day, a day when his supporters are encouraging people to chip in money to him. Out of the top tier candidates, Fred is my personal favorite, so he’d be a great guy to send a few bucks. It’s also worth noting that my ex-employer and favorite candidate overall, Duncan Hunter, is […]

And once again the news has nothing to do with embryonic stem cell research: NEW YORK — Scientists have made ordinary human skin cells take on the chameleon-like powers of embryonic stem cells, a startling breakthrough that might someday deliver the medical payoffs of embryo cloning without the controversy. Laboratory teams on two continents report […]

Did you know that in the new Brian DePalma movie Redacted, about US Marines who rape Iraqi women (?), the lead rapist is a white trash, chunky, cigar chomping character named… “Rush”? (Cross posted along with other embittered dispatches at FiveFeetOfFury)

First, Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! MaxedOutMama, a favorite blogger of mine not only for her economic insights which are excellent and often prophetic but also for her social commentary, wrote a humdinger of a post that you should all know about and read. She discusses a woman’s role in the church. Has the church become […]

Ric Flair, The Nature Boy, is the man who wears the Crimson Mask better than any wrestler who ever lived and has a little saying: “If you want to be the man, you have to beat the man”. The latter “the man” was usually him and that statement was usually followed with a grand smackdown […]

Headline: Effectiveness of D.C. gun ban still a mystery Actually, there’s not a lot of mystery here: Yet the gun culture on the city’s mean streets during the crack epidemic has not abated, police statistics show. Even as the homicide toll declined in D.C. after 1991, the percentage of killings committed with firearms remained far […]

A shocking report on hate crimes from the FBI, via LGF and JihadWatch. As it turns out, Jews suffer over five times more attacks than Muslims: Anti-Black 3,136 Anti-Jewish 1,027 Anti-White 1,008 Anti-Male Homosexual 881 Anti-Hispanic 770 Anti-Female Homosexual 192 Anti-Islamic 191 I’m also stunned that the total nationwide hate crime numbers are so low.

Christopher Hitchens (via Instapundit): “[T]he cabinet,” according to the Nov. 18 New York Times, “has sent legislation to the Parliament softening the de-Baathification law that had prevented former Baathists’ working in government jobs.” I wonder how many people, reading that ordinary sentence about “the cabinet” and “the Parliament,” as reported also in independent Iraqi media, […]

Last week, Harry Reid complained that President Bush was acting like a “bully” right before he decided to keep the Senate in session during the Thanksgiving break to avoid any “controversial” recess appointments.

Dahlia Lithwick writes perceptively about how critical it is that litigants — especially in family court — feel they have been heard by the court: Last week in Las Vegas, Reno, Nev., millionaire Darren Mack shocked the court by pleading guilty, midtrial, to killing his estranged wife, Charla, in June 2006. . . .
