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 […]

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 […]

Brought to you by the same folks who have published national security programs designed to defend the United States from terrorist attacks, and were asked by the White House and Congress members of both parties to not publish, the NY Times provides the name of a CIA interrogator so that al Qaeda knows who to […]

By now, everyone is pretty much familiar with the Missiah’s wonderful new podium hanger, which Jake Tapper called “The Audacity of Hype,” and even Wolf Blitzer called “pompous.” Many on the left were having orgasms (is it too early in the day to write that?) over the new seal, and Party Ben at Mother Jones […]

Just because they were having a hissy fit yesterday Face The Nation: Jindal Thinks Intelligent Design Should Be Taught With Evolution I try very hard to be tolerant of others’ beliefs. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I certainly don’t want to begrudge others answers that work for them. Here comes the […]

Via Sister Toldjah, the humor story of the week The presidential race is in full swing — but not the way you might think. A young New York City entrepreneur has decided to “have fun” with the campaign by marketing condoms featuring images of Barack Obama and John McCain. Benjamin Sherman, who created the company […]

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 […]

Fred Kagan at The Weekly Standard breaks it down It would be hard to design a better test for the job of commander in chief than the real-life test senators John McCain and Barack Obama have undergone in the last two years. As the situation in Iraq deteriorated during 2006 and the war reached its […]

Then how were they able to break records in raising and spending oh so much money on their primaries? Where’d it all come from?

Apparently, they do not find Islamic terrorist videos to be hate speech. You know, video’s that call for the destruction of, well, basically anything not to their liking. With violence. They are essentially telling us what they want to, and will, do. But, hey, they apparently have a constitutionalright to do this, as opposed to […]

One of the things I do over on my site every Sunday is post a patriotic pinup, the painted types. This one is a few years old, added in the flag background. Never been able to figure out who the artist is, though Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for […]

The LA Times is going all out in spinning away Barack NMN Obama’s idea to have himself directly talk with leaders of countries that hate us In a speech to the Israeli parliament Thursday, President Bush took a swipe at Barack Obama for his willingness to negotiate with evil regimes. “Some seem to believe that […]

I had no intention of writing another “liberals seethe” post regarding Jenna Bush’s nuptials. Been there, done that. Yet, this one caught my eye. Why? Because it was not the DU, Kosbat, HuffPost, or any of the usual suspects. Here is the winning comment for Most Compassionate Liberal A gross filthy little *** who eats […]

All of us on the right new it already, have known it for decades. The Liberal/Progressive/Surrender Monkey way of life is the same as that of animals. Hopefully prey animals (NY Times) As they traveled across Indiana and North Carolina over the last few days, trading charges and countercharges about the wisdom of suspending the […]

This sorta follows up on what Gina Cobb wrote yesterday, both on Right Wing News and her own site, so, let’s see Democratic rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton turned up the rhetoric Saturday in their increasingly heated presidential primary battle as she issued a new debate challenge and he complained of a race […]

Via John Dickerson at Slate DOWNINGTON, Pa.– At the next train stop, I’m going to stand behind Senator Obama when he speaks. When he’s decrying the trivial distractions in politics, I think he may be crossing his fingers behind his back. As the Senator’s campaign train wound from one speech where he denounced tit-for-tat politics […]

There are times when politics is as amusing as Richard Pryor in Live On The Sunset Strip Pennsylvania’s Democratic voters on April 22 will choose between two candidates in the presidential primary. Both are qualified to become the nation’s chief executive. They have more similarities than differences. But, The Morning Call recommends that Sen. Barack […]

Over at Crooks and Liars (which I have always thought is an apt name for a liberal blog), a seething cauldron of progressive insanity (OK, I know, most of the left-o-sphere is the same way), last nights open thread post features this photo Any guesses as to what it is supposed to imply? And which […]

Exactly how do liberals/progressives go about discussion of of stories that do not bode well for them? (crossed at Pirate’s Cove) 1. Ignore the story – pretend it is not happening, or deflect like crazy. 2. Find some sort of moral equivalence or a story from 30 years ago saying a Conservative did something sort […]

Happy Easter to all! Awwwwwwwww. Pirate Bunny. OK, had to do one silly one, courtesy of West Coast Chaos, a fellow hockey buff. And, How To Make A Chocolate Bunny (avoid at work. While not bad, a lot of firewalls do not like killfrog.com) You can get live views of St. Peter’s Square here.

Some days, a DU thread just jumps out at ya like Hobbes going after Calvin (did I just seriously date myself there?) MassDemm – The wheels have fallen off the Hopemobile Even if he manages to eek out a victory this primary season, which is unlikely, because he will be seen as damaged goods and […]

Well, when I wrote this Sunday morning, planned to post it in the PM, I was using a baseball comparison, but, seems that Karl at protein wisdom beat me too it. Sigh. Oh, well, let’s use hockey! The Grey Ladies are down 0-3. One more game, and they will be sent packing from the playoffs. […]

As Charles at Little Green Footballs puts it Markos “Screw Them” Moulitsas is really embarrassing himself now, with one of the most ridiculous posts he’s ever put up–and that’s saying something. What is the post? Some ridiculous wackiness about Harold Ford being darkened by the Tennessee GOP for a mailer. In response, the meltdown occurs […]

Heh heh heh Energy Saving Day was a flop, its organiser admitted last night after the National Grid confirmed that across Britain energy use went up by just over one per cent. The day, which began at dusk on Wednesday evening with candles being lit in St Paul’s cathedral, had received the backing of the […]

Via Blue Star Beth, a rather disturbing story for anyone who likes keeping the money they earn at The National Ledger A nice-sounding bill called the “Global Poverty Act,” sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global […]

Why do we really need FISA to allow U.S. intelligence agencies to surveille electronic messages, such as email and phone calls, between people who are not citizens of the United States, and, as such, are not covered by the Constitution? Even if they are in the United States. Seems kinda silly, doesn’t it? We used […]

More comedy relief from the direct democracy crowd (via Politico) BATON ROUGE, LA — The Obama campaign submitted an urgent request for assistance to the Secretary of State’s Division of Elections today, after receiving widespread reports from Democrats across Louisiana who reported that they were not allowed to vote because their party affiliation had been […]

It really can’t get any better. For sh*ts and giggles: chimpymustgo – Skinner, please institute the thread limit ASAP. Please, we’re begging you! Remember when we had to post 3-4 paragraphs of actual THOUGHT in order to start a thread? That was back in 03. But things have gotten much worse than even those dark […]

Now, I know quite a few folks are not McCain fans, but, I offer this up as a hoot. John McCain cannot be elected president because he was not born on U.S. soil. I’m trying to hunt down where this originated, caught it on a forum I frequent. Will it gain traction? 7 FAM 1116.1-4 […]
