Year: 2008

Let me tell you the story of a remarkable American and Navy Veteran, Rich Davis. He is the founder of a pro-troop, pro-American organization called the Chester County Victory Movement (American Sheepdogs) based in West Chester, Pa. His one man ‘support the troops’ rally has blossomed into a grassroot organization populated with exceptional Americans who […]

Right up the road in Durham. WRAL – Prosecutor: Couple’s Crimes Related To Cult A Durham couple charged with kidnapping, rape and assault was involved with a satanic cult, a prosecutor said Monday. Joy Johnson and Joseph Craig appeared at a bond hearing Monday. A judge set Craig’s bond at $590,000, but refused a prosecution […]

Chrysler reports that it’s shutting down minivan production. “Foreman said, ‘These jobs are goin’, boys, and they ain’t comin’ back … to your hometown.” Bruce was right then, and he’d be right to say it now, too, but not for the reasons he thinks. It’s not because of free trade, or even because folks in […]

Jennifer Rubin, at Contentions, points out that Paul Krugman, like David Brooks, is confused as to whether “Obama is more like Ronald Reagan (an ideological, transformative politician) or Bill Clinton ( a poll-driven pragmatist).” As I mentioned in the past: [Obama] hopes to let voters define what “hope” and “change” mean to them and then […]

Here’s some Monday afternoon inspiration for you. Ivan Castro joined the Army, and was a Ranger before completing Special Forces training. He earned his officer’s commission and joined the 82nd Airborne Division as platoon leader. In September of 2006, in Youssifiyah, Iraq, he was struck by mortar fire and shrapnel, breaking his arm and shoulder, […]

Is New York returning to the bad old days pre-Giuliani? Maybe: The NYPD’s CompStat data indeed show upticks in violent crime since last year. The city has had 238 murders so far this year (as of last Sunday), up 7.6 percent from 221 last year, and 664 rapes, up 6.2 percent. Should we be worried? […]

According to the endlessly repeated Democrat talking points, it would be useless to drill in the ANWR wasteland, off the coasts, or anywhere else environmentalist extremists have forbidden it, because it would take years and years to get the oil out, and it would only lower prices by a few pennies anyway. But wait, what’s […]

A British family chose IVF and screened embryos that had a breast cancer gene: By screening out embryos carrying the gene, called BRCA-1, the couple, from London, will eliminate the hereditary disease from their lineage. About 5% of the 44,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed in Britain each year are estimated to be caused by […]

Robert Mugabe personifies the future liberals have planned for us. He took the “Breadbasket of Africa” and turned it into a squalid, totalitarian hellhole with his race-based socialist ideology in the name of sticking it to Whitey on behalf of the historically oppressed. But even moonbats who deify his socialist colleague Nelson Mandela have a […]

Good thing the Islamic Jihadis do not use the Internet or anything, eh? NY Times – Amid Policy Disputes, Qaeda Grows in Pakistan Late last year, top Bush administration officials decided to take a step they had long resisted. They drafted a secret plan to make it easer for the Pentagon’s Special Operations forces to […]

(Yeah, I know McQ covered this earlier, but, interesting quote from AMERICAblog at the end) How soon will Wesley Clark be run over by Senator Neophyte? Gen. Wesley Clark, acting as a surrogate for Barack Obama’s campaign, invoked John McCain’s military service against him in one of the more personal attacks on the Republican presidential […]

Ah, San Francisco: the perfect little microcosm of liberalism in action. If you want to know what America would look like if liberals took over, then all you need to do is look to San Francisco, the place Nancy Pelosi calls home. The newest example is the free ride service for illegal Honduran crack dealers, […]

This week, I’m going to be on vacation and so I’m going to have the following passel of guest bloggers filling in for me beside of my regular co-bloggers, Dr. Melissa Clouthier, Van Helsing from Moonbattery, and McQ from QandO. Mon — Cassy Fiano William Teach from Pirate’s Cove Little Miss Attila Ron Coleman from […]

Well, well, here is a very interesting story about excellent progress in medicine here in Flyover Country < too snarky. News and Observer – Cancer cure in mice to get human trials Clinical trials begin this week at Wake Forest University on a cancer therapy that has completely cured the disease in every mouse tested […]

Of all the “ex-generals” floating around out there, perhaps the most odious is Wesley Clark. Today he decided it was his place to demean John McCain’s military service on Face the Nation: Gen. Wesley Clark, acting as a surrogate for Barack Obama’s campaign, invoked John McCain’s military service against him in one of the more […]

“Asking for Coffee Not Grounds for Sex Harassment Suit”: [Judge Berle M. ] Schiller found that plaintiff Tamara Klopfenstein failed to allege even a prima facie case of sex discrimination because she cannot show that she was treated differently from any “similarly situated” male employees since there was only one receptionist in the office and […]

The Washington Post warns today that while an Obama presidency would likely keep the USSC “balanced” in the almost-sure event that one or more of the USSC’s liberal justices retire during the next presidential term, a McCain presidency would “shift to a consistently conservative majority” ready to tackle issues important to “the right”: For much […]

It begs the question, what type of cult is it though? A benign one, or more like North Korea or Jim Jones’? NY Times – Obama Supporters Take His Middle Name as Their Own Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student […]

So wrote Derrick Z. Jackson in Saturday’s Boston Globe in a piece entitled “Holding Muslims at Arms Length.”I’m sure it’s a hope shared by Muslims all around the world, but what’s Derrick Jackson’s rationale for preferring that Obama be Muslim over his currently professed faith of Christianity? Better that than having supercilious staffers whisk women […]

Can we all commiserate with Hillary Clinton just for a moment and consider how utterly galling it must have been to stand by her man, once again? Cross-posted at Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Yeah, Professor: I do agree that when Scalia discussed the virtues of handguns over longarms for those with less upper-body strength, he probably had women in mind, along with the elderly and disabled. But the Kool-Aid consumed by orthodox feminist groups—and even readers of mainstream women’s magazines, such as Family Circle and Women’s Day—is powerful […]

The Canadian Human Rights Commission has dismissed the charges of “flagrant Islamophobia” against Mark Steyn, but we’re still awaiting the decision from the recent British Columbia trial. Here’s a great candid photo of Steyn celebrating (sort of) the decision. He’d really like to LOSE so they can take the case all the way to the […]

I was reading a post today at Moonbattery about Amnesty International that included this picture: It also linked to this story from CNS News about yet another ridiculous Gitmo protest: Amnesty International USA brought a life-sized replica of a Guantanamo Bay prison cell to Washington on Wednesday. But amenities provided to prisoners — bedding, toiletries, […]

Obama has a history of being ardently against guns. For example, look at this questionnaire he filled out showing us his anti-gun agenda from the Politico: Of course, now that the DC handgun ban has been overturned, Obama’s singing a different tune. He wants us to believe that he just loves the Second Amendment, and […]

Question: F, Marry, Kill: One you have to F—, one you have to Marry and one you have to Kill. Rosie O’Donnell Cindy Sheehan Janet Reno Answer: This is too easy–mostly because I’m a woman and not gay, but….. Marry: Rosie O’Donnell. It’s called California. Marriage. Community property. Divorce. Hello? Screw: Janet Reno is hot […]

Question: “The real question should be who would win between Buffy and Xena? Yes, that was a true dinner time conversation animatedly discussed around the dinner table (I have two boys). I went with Buffy.” — Bruce L-C Answer: This was a surprisingly tough question, perhaps because I’ve seen every episode of both shows. But, […]

Question: “Have you seen the pro-Obama “Not Alex” ad currently running on many mainstream news networks? I saw this ad on TV a few days ago, right after a snippet of Obama talking about his decision to accept private financing, and how it was influenced by John McCain’s refusal to get “527 groups” under control. […]

The NY Times, unsurprisingly, is aghast at the Supreme Court’s ruling on Heller. Some excerpts: In a radical break from 70 years of Supreme Court precedent, Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, declared that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to bear arms for nonmilitary uses, even though the amendment clearly links the […]

Question: “What are the Top 10 animated movies of all time? I am not sure if you’ve done this before.
