Year: 2008

It’s the Army’s 233rd birthday. Blackfive brings us the birthday message from Kenneth Preston, the Sergeant Major of the Army: Here’s a nice tribute video that made me tear up a little throughout: To those currently serving, or who have served: thank you. Let’s all remember today the patriots who, starting 233 years ago, loved […]

Over at Protein Wisdom, Darleen Click remarks on the ramifications of SCOTUS’ group acid trip this past week. Given the huge cost of transporting enemy combatants to places like Gitmo—and to feed and house them there—there is now no reason whatsoever for our soldiers and Marines not to simply shoot them all in the field.

. . . on the Heller case? Glad you asked. Via Insty, Mike O’Shea has some thoughts on the possible implications—in the form of a handy-dandy “top ten” list. (X-posted at Little Miss Attila.)

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet is a go-getter, meeting with the Canadian head of state and with Governor Schwarzenegger in quick succession in an attempt to grapple with her country’s energy needs. I would love to see solar power become cost-effective for something other than heating swimming pools; certainly the next few applications for that may […]

Via Little Green Footballs, we get from Crooks and Liars – When ‘nutpicking’ reaches the presidential campaign level. This is the kind of comic relief that just cannot be ignored For quite a while, conservatives have embraced an annoying strategy — trawl through liberal blogs’ comments sections in the hopes of finding intemperate remarks. The right […]

Watch this video where Chris Matthews displays his utter lack of class with Keith Olbermann. While almost every other journalist and blogger on both sides of the political spectrum are giving condolences and highlighting Russert’s deserved credit of being one of the most fair and unbiased journalists of today’s media, Chris Matthews used the opportunity […]

I didn’t write this one, so I won’t do a full crosspost from STACLU on it. Warner Todd Huston did a great job covering this earlier so I won’t post all the details again, but I wanted to share a portion of my post illustrating the emotion that is liberalism…no brains. Wanna see what I […]

* Steyn’s accusers called a deconstructionist Buffy the Vampire Slayer scholar as an expert witness. * One of his accusers admitted under oath that he’d misrepresented his group’s initial demands to the media on numerous occasions. * Websites that linked to the “offending” Maclean’s article — including U.S.-based sites like Free Republic and Catholic Answers […]

So, this conversation happened at the dinner table a few days ago: Daughter 8: Mom, I want a cell phone. Me: No Daughter: Everyone has a cell phone! [Head collapses into arms, dramatic weeping.] Me: [Laughing] No, you are not crying about not having a cell phone. Who? Who has a cellphone? Daughter: Lots of […]

Wanted to pass along this sad news: Tim Russert collapsed at work and later died from cardiac arrest. I’m so sorry for his family. Life, even a long one, is short. He was 58 years old. A quick note–Tim Russert always struck me as fair-minded and incisive. He seemed to be one of the few […]

Here’s a small surprise: Jodie Evans, cofounder of the ultra-Left outfit Code Pink, is now bundling for the Obama campaign. Just as Code Pink raised $600,000 for the Islamic terrorists killing American troops in Fallujah, Evans has promised to raise $50,000 for BHO. Here’s Evans presenting al Qaeda’s case for the 9/11 atrocities: We had […]

Mothers Against Drunk Driving has done a lot of good work over the years, particularly with high school students, but this is so far over the line that you can’t even look back and see the line from here, Many juniors and seniors were driven to tears – a few to near hysterics – May […]

“There is no significant man made global warming. There has not been any in the past, there is none now and there is no reason to fear any in the future. The climate of Earth is changing. It has always changed. But mankind’s activities have not overwhelmed or significantly modified the natural forces. …Worldwide there […]

Billed as a “centerist agenda”, Chris Bowers of Open Left lists the “legislation that is certain to pass if Obama wins the White House, we pick up 20 more seats in the House, and 8 more seats in the Senate.” 1. H.R. 1591, U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, […]

In recent years, liberals have mastered the art of lying. A lefty blog writes a story, then two dozen other blogs pick-up. Next thing you know, the libs in the mainstream media are echoing the charges that started in the blogosphere without mentioning that they’re false. At that point, we’re in a Catch-22 because liberals […]

Good news for anyone who doesn’t want Iraq to degenerate into a terror-sponsoring Iranian proxy state, so that our troops will have fought and died for nothing: But what he’ll say next is anyone’s guess. Here’s what it says on his website: Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove […]

Whether it’s Michael J. Fox talking about embryonic stem cells, Cindy Sheehan talking about the war in Iraq, or Max Cleland being trotted out to flack for John Kerry, there’s nothing liberals love better than a spokesman that you’re not supposed to be able to argue with. The latest person who’s supposed to be able […]

“The 5-4 GITMO decision brings to the front, yet again, John McCain’s position on judges versus his own policies. McCain undoubtedly supports the 5-4 decision, yet the justices who voted against it, and argued strenuously against it, are of the kind McCain claims to want on the bench. We have seen the same issue arise […]

Maybe there’s some truth to that voodoo stuff. Dead Democrats are rising from the dead to vote in Louisiana: Secretary of State Jay Dardenne said Tuesday he will meet today with a Democrat-affiliated group responsible for a voter registration effort that is inundating East Baton Rouge and other parish registrars with bogus and incomplete applications. […]

Can we just dispense with the formality of civil society and rid the world of this animal? This is what it means to be the political opposition in Zimbabwe: The men who pulled up in three white pickup trucks were looking for Patson Chipiro, head of the Zimbabwean opposition party in Mhondoro district. His wife, […]

“While the form of treachery varies slightly from case to case, liberals always manage to take the position that most undermines American security.” — Ann Coulter Today in the Supreme Court, Americans lost and terrorists won, The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have rights under the Constitution to […]

William Yeatman, an energy policy analyst for the Competitive Enterprise Institute asks: “How long can America, on the one hand, say, ‘We’re sick and tried of high gasoline prices,’ and on the other hand say, ‘We’re not going to do anything about it; we’re not going to tap our own resources?’” Yeatman said. “We’re going […]

Back in March, I wrote about David Motari, the Marine who very foolishly allowed himself to be videotaped throwing a puppy off a cliff in Iraq. There was a lot of debate on whether or not the puppy was alive or not. I came down on the fake side, “My verdict? I’m leaning towards fake. […]

There’s a big stink because Fox News ran a segment about Michelle Obama and the caption included the words “Barack Obama’s Baby Mama”. One could argue that the phrase further dumbs down the American language and is a racial epithet unsuitable for prime time. Or, one could argue that the hip hop culture has come […]

Even on the left side of the blogosphere, where tortured reasoning has been elevated to an art form, seldom have I ever seen anything that can top this rigmarole from Cristina Page at the HuffPo, Obama: The Real Pro-Life Candidate Obama has a huge opportunity to win over an unlikely voting bloc: pro-life voters. The […]

Today’s Manufactured Outrage of the Day is that, on a mid-day Fox News program featuring Megyn Kelly and Michelle Malkin debating the impact of Michelle Obama on the race, the production assistant in charge of writing chyrons dubbed the would-be first Lady “Obama’s Baby Mama.” Apparently, this is a racial slur which suggests that she […]
