Sunday afternoon humor: Why Arab/Muslim Americans should not vote for Obama (page doesn’t work in Firefox, IE only) Arab and Muslim voters thought, in Obama that they were witnessing a candidate with a shot of wining, that he was not part of the pro-Israeli establishment that fills the halls of power in Washington who usually […]

This is terrible. A tragedy A Martinez womanwho used another person’s identity to get a $20,000 breast lift and tummy tuck in Greenbrae was sentenced Wednesday to nine months in the Marin County Jail. She nearly got away with it, but a get-well bouquet and a navel itch were her undoing. Londie Bowman, 32, will […]

Time to take a break from the exciting Joe Bide…..zzzzzzzzzzz. Huh? Oh, and delve into the insanity of anthropogenic global warming. This looks fun In northern Greenland, a part of the Arctic that had seemed immune from global warming, new satellite images show a growing giant crack and an 11-square-mile chunk of ice hemorrhaging off a […]

Right now, you might be saying “Teach, are you drunk? Have you drunk the liberal kool aid? Or, are you just a bit fetched in the head?” Maybe a bit of 1 and 3, but, let’s think about what the pick of Biden brings. There is not much point in going over what so many […]

When all else fails for comedy on a Sunday afternoon, one can always turn to the leaders in the Nutroots, in this case, the Huffington Post, or, as I like to call them, the Hufftard Post (though, apparently, that is mean, though wishing death on President Bush, Dick Cheney, et al, isn’t. Go figure.) Did […]

Here’s a hint to the New York Times: you are already hemorrhaging paying subscribers. Your stock is in the tank. You are having to let people go. Having one of your premier folks on the op-ed page insult a good section of the public which reads the Times should go in the “not a brilliant […]

The story Last month 25-year-old U.S. Army PFC Robin Long became the first war resister since the Vietnam War to be forcefully deported from Canadian soil and handed over to military authorities. Robin is currently being held in the El Paso County Jail, near Colorado Springs, Colorado, awaiting a military court martial for resisting the […]

When Maureen Dowd decides to diss a Democrat, one who has had presidential asspirations and was, in fact, very popular in the Nutroots prior to Barry’s Messianic ascendancy, well, you know it just can’t be good. The substance of her column is The stunning admission Edwards made to ABC’s Bob Woodruff, and in a written […]

Afternoon break from politics and such. Personally, I find this pretty cool Palaeontologists digging in a brickyard in southern Poland have discovered the fossilised remains of a dinosaur that they say is a previously unknown ancestor of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The predator dinosaur, given the working name “Dragon”, lived around 200 million years ago, team […]

On Saturday, August 2nd, more fools attempted to get their pro-active pre-surrender message out. Their “emergency call to to action,” if you will. They did it in many cities around the country, including Raleigh A group protesting against a possible war with Iran demonstrated in Raleigh Saturday. The North Carolina Coalition to Stop War on […]

I’m not really one for doing reviews, particularly book reviews. Typically, I will dive into a new book before I can even get around to writing a review, but, I have found the new book by Harry Turtledove, The Man With The Iron Heart, rather interesting. Via Amazon What if V-E Day didn’t end World […]

Usually, I start this type of story out with “I bet you think this was found in the Credentialed Media” or “I wonder if the CM will cover this,” or something to that effect, and the story comes from a source such as Operation Iraqi Freedom. In this case, THE main newspaper component of the Credentialed Media, […]

Has the Goracle been off his meds? By meds, I mean, of course, the lavish meals that made him balloon up and start spewing methane……. ah, never mind. Ben Smith – Gore compares offshore drilling to invasion of Iraq In a surprise appearance at Netroots Nation — which apparently was the worst-kept secret in Austin, […]

While I certainly appreciate Reuters writing these two stories, I wonder why they did not get wider play in the Credentialed Media. First, from July 12th Iraq’s combat troops will be almost fully formed by the middle of 2009, according to the senior U.S. Army officer who led the training of Iraqi security forces. On […]

There are lots of things Surrendie loves: some good brie, French bread, a nice Bordeaux, pre-emptive surrender. One of his others is when a port-sider decides to extend their 15 minutes with some sort of craziness, such as with Cindy Sheehan, Wes Clark, and now, Al Gore. Though, Surrendie is conflicted, as he has never […]

No. Seriously. Welcome to the Reality Based Community Take Your Paws off the Presidency! Does the Bush administration have a secret succession order that bypasses Congress? Suppose the worst happens, and the next terrorist attack hits Washington hard, taking out the president and the vice president. What happens next? New Yorker writer Jane Mayer’s new […]

Early morning thought: will those on the Port side accuse Obama of going to Iraq for a photo op? IHT – Media stars will accompany Obama overseas Senator John McCain’s trip to Iraq last spring was a low-key affair: With his ordinary retinue of reporters following him abroad, the NBC News anchor Brian Williams reported […]

I’m glad we have the media around to tell us these things Global warming has added more crunch to the existing fatal consequences of the increase in the number of malaria cases, thereby fuelling the need for lifesaving vaccinations to those in need, says an expert. Experts are concerned that the drastic changes in the […]

Back on July 8th, I mentioned the Democrats are going to be having Platform meetings from July 19th to July 27 (which is a good way to keep the unhinged off the streets), to come up with the Democrat Party platform. I was not particularly nice about it Apparently, Senator Neophyte isn’t capable of actually […]

Spiritual But perhaps a spiritual response is also needed to global warming — to provide the inner strength necessary to face and combat the worst effects that are to come from the Earth’s erratically changing climate. You don’t have to go to a church, synagogue or temple to be “spiritual” (although it doesn’t often hurt). […]

Without preamble, NY Times – Hippie Arrests Draw A.C.L.U.’s Attention CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union said on Saturday that it would investigate the actions of federal officers who had arrested five members of the Rainbow Family in western Wyoming during the group’s annual gathering. The federal Forest Service said a mob […]

Via Confederate Yankee, a follow up story from Tuesday (here), which I took the liberty of redoing (yes, I had plenty of lazing around time before tee time of 3pm). WRAL Cool font, eh? Otherwise known as Have a great 4th of July, everyone!

Has the media love affair with Obama ended? While they aren’t taking the harsh shots at him yet, they are quietly starting to take the “hmmm, we’re just wondering” type as of late. Case in point (sorry, long excerpt to start) Last fall, Barack Obama explained why he hadn’t been wearing an American flag pin […]

At some point or another, I bet we have all played the whisper a rumor game. That’s where you start with some sort of legitimate story, whisper it to one person, who repeats it to another, and so on around the circle, till it gets back to you, and you get to marval how much […]

One of the problems with fighting back against the disciples of anthropogenic global warming, and other silliness such as 9/11 Twooferism and Progressivism, is having to respond to them using rationality and facts and figures, which they then dismiss as being created by Big Oil, or whoever and/or whatever the current villain is. Bret Stephens […]

Who’s a big sweety? Who’s a big sweety? Yes you are! Yes you are! Muslims outraged at police advert featuring cute puppy sitting in policeman’s hat A postcard featuring a cute puppy sitting in a policeman’s hat advertising a Scottish police force’s new telephone number has sparked outrage from Muslims.   Tayside Police’s new non-emergency phone […]

To start off, as many of you have already read, Obama threw Wes Clark, if not under the bus, at least into the bumper “As he’s said many times before, Senator Obama honors and respects Senator McCain’s service, and of course he rejects yesterday’s statement by General Clark,” said Obama campaign spokeman Bill Burton. Is this what […]

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 […]

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 […]
