If you’re as big a fan of Lileks as I am, then you’ll appreciate this year’s worth of his quotes that I compiled from his columns on Jewish World Review. Read em’ & enjoy ’em…(Cont)

Poor David Broder is looking out over the scorched earth left behind by the memogate scandal and he’s not particularly excited by the new world that the mainstream media now inhabits… “As the path from the White House and political campaigns to the slots as TV anchor or interviewer or op-ed columnist or editor was […]

Hat tip to the fine folks over at Bressler.org for coming up with this one.

Washington, DC – CBS News is reporting that records obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request indicate that President George W. Bush skipped the annual Houston Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast on January 25, 1972. This occurred at a time in which the future President was a member of the Executive Board of the Houston Kiwanis. […]

It has been more than 4 long months since the last time I used Alexa to rank the top 125 political websites on the net and I thought it was about time to do it again. So, if you’re looking for the most popular political websites on the internet, then today is your lucky day. […]

Mark Dubbin, the author of “Shadow Patriot” bought another main page ad on RWN to get the word out about his book. Here’s the description of it from Barnes & Noble… “The events of 9/11 affected many things in New York and the Mafia was no exception. Business suffered for Don Remondini after the attack, […]

— You know, it’s easy to understand why so many people get bent out of shape about whether or not electronic voting is secure or not, but have you ever noticed that very few people — well, very few liberals at least — seem to be bothered by this sort of thing… “Beyond requiring applicants […]

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly. One day she was challenging […]

Democrat presidential contender John Forbes Kerry today offered to give Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi a guided tour of Iraq to clear up misunderstandings that Mr. Allawi has about the situation in his own nation. “I’m grateful to Sen. Kerry for his generous offer,” said Mr. Allawi at a joint Rose Garden news conference with […]

Flip “Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture don’t have the judgment to be president or the credibility to be elected president.” — John Kerry 12/20/03 Flop “…(T)he satisfaction we take in (Saddam’s) downfall […]

After the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens (TSFKACS) was detained by federal agents in Bangor, Maine, as he attempted to enter the United States, other 1970s pop stars lobbied to get their names included on the Department of Homeland Security’s terrorist watch list. “Cat Stevens shouldn’t be grabbing all the glory and the royalties,” […]

Iraqi interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi addressed a Joint Session of Congress today and gave a phenomenal speech (although it’s worth noting that Senator Flip-Flop and his running mate the Fluffy Puppy didn’t even bother to show up). Of course, I’m sure not everyone enjoyed what the Prime Minister had to say, as I did. […]

It has been amusing to me to watch the reaction to Cat Stevens being banned from the US. Britain isn’t happy about it, the Council On American-Islamic Relations has predictably been whining about this, and of course Stevens AKA Yusuf Islam is claiming to be totally shocked, “Everybody knows who I am. I am no […]

Graduate student Bryan Cash lost his final friend Tuesday, after a heated debate in which the 26-year-old environmental studies major accused his longtime neighbor of being a fascist. “He also called me a hate-filled, warmongering closet racist and blatant homophobe,” said Mike Opper about the incident. “All I did was mention I heard Rush Limbaugh […]

Here’s a little secret I’ve learned from watching left-wingers. When they think they’ve had a major setback or they’re losing, they start acting crazier than normal and slinging dirt. Wild conspiracy theories get trotted out (See the ‘Karl Rove is behind the CBS forgeries line of wawa’ that Terry McAuliffe suggested), any dirty trick becomes […]

Let’s say that you suggest going to a local restaurant, but a friend of yours says he has heard that people who work there won’t eat the food or let their families eat the food. Do you still go to that restaurant or do you go somewhere else? Suppose you need to get your car […]

Kerry recently came out with his four-point plan for Iraq, but they were all basically what Bush is already doing… except Kerry would do it while haughtier and more French-looking. It took a lot of brainstorming for him to come up with those points, and I obtained a probably non-forged document of the rejected ideas. […]

Of late, the Kerry campaign has turned their attention back to Iraq and of course, since we are talking about John Kerry here, that means his entire position has again shifted. While I have taken the opportunity to poke fun at Kerry for his total inconsistency on the issue, I haven’t spent a lot of […]

Hat tip to Strange Cosmos for the graphic.

Hey you! Did you know that if you live in America, you live in a fascist country? You probably didn’t know that! Lucky for you that the brave dissenters at the Democratic Underground are willing to speak the truth to power so that you’ll stay informed…lol, oh please! Here are a few comments from what […]

A CBS News investigation has confirmed that the Vietnam War lasted at least five years longer than it should have solely because of President George W. Bush. People who knew Mr. Bush at the time have revealed to us that, while collapsed drunk in the basement of a Yale frat house, the would-be president – […]

I thought some of the bloggers out there might find these 11 basic rules to be of use or at least may find them to be a good jumping off point for debate about blogger etiquette… — If you mention another blog, actually create a hyperlink to it. Simply typing out the URL — example: […]

— Robert Novak claims anonymous sources are saying that the Bush administration plans to cut and run from Iraq next year… “Well-placed sources in the administration are confident Bush’s decision will be to get out (of Iraq). They believe that is the recommendation of his national security team and would be the recommendation of second-term […]

CBS news anchor Dan Rather is America’s most trusted news anchor to forge documents or assist in forgery, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by independent researchers, concluded the American people “overwhelmingly” approve Rather’s forgery skills over his two main counterparts, ABC anchor Peter Jennings and NBC anchor Tom Brokaw. Poll results showed […]

Every time I leave the apartment, my dog Patton gives me the “Come back Shane, come back look” out the window… Look at that sad little face. Poor little doggie…

“You couldn’t have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of check and balances [at ’60 Minutes’] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing.” — Jonathan Klein That mocking quote by Jonathan Klein has been adopted by the blogosphere and turned into an anthem by many of the same bloggers […]
