Updates From Crazyville

Where to begin? Jules Crittenden observes that since resuming “normal” blogging, Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish “has racked up no fewer than 23 Palin posts.” Which is only “normal” in Sullyland, a destination on the far side of the looking glass, where caterpillars smoke hookahs, etc. Certain that his lunacy is entirely rational, Andrew Sullivan declares […]

 

San Francisco Booksellers Won’t Carry Going Rogue

You know someone’s packing some REALLY powerful intellect when every other post on their blog is a Jon Stewart video. Perhaps it’s generational change, where we see a lazy kind of media-induced resistance to hard thinking and analytical reasoning, but it’s out there, and not just among hardline netroots denizens. I’m tempted to try to […]

 

Were There ‘Tribal Aspects’ To The Anti War Protests?

Noel Sheppard pointed out: at Newsbusters yesterday that Chris Matthews once again accuses the Tea Party goers of being too white: “This is a largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd,” reported MSNBC’s O’Donnell live from the scene. Matthews reiterated, “Well, they look like a white crowd to me,” later claiming, “I think there […]

 

Los Angeles ACORNista Eager to Assist Child Prostitution Business

James O’Keefe on the latest ACORN video released by himself and Hannah Giles: Lavelle Stewart, of ACORN in South Central Los Angeles, tells us she thinks we have to hook up with “someone who’s on that international sex business level,” that “14 and 15 year olds been traveling overseas for years,” that she can do […]

 

Harry Reid’s Version of the Health Care Monstrosity

Over 2,000 pages (yeah, nothing can be hidden in there, can it?) the bill sets up at least 370.2 billion in new taxes over the next 10 years: 1. 40% excise tax on health coverage in excess of $8,500/$23,000 ($149.1 billion) 2. Employer W-2 reporting of value of health (negligible revenue effect) 3. Conform definition […]

 

Andrew Sullivan Gazes Into . . . uh, the Abyss

He has become so wildly erratic that it’s hard to predict what he’ll do next, but Sully now seems to be telegraphing his intent to do something even more monumentally embarrassing than his unrequited: twink-lust for Levi Johnston. (Yes, those are live links to Sullivan’s blog; click at your peril, or don’t.) Though not a Sarah […]

 

Obama seriously needs a lesson in humility.

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com Did you know that Obama has restored our position in the world? The polls say so, so it’s true. Everyone loves us! “No. 1, I think that we’ve restored America’s standing in the world,” Obama said, citing polls about public confidence in the United States around the world. “We’ve seen very specific […]

 


KSM, cowardly conservatives… and Obama the punisher?

The Khalid Shaikh Mohammed backlash has been quite the spectacle. From Holder’s hearing today to Obama predetermining the outcome, this has been really unbelievable. Pulling the trial out military tribunes and moving to civilian courts is a fundamental change in how we deal with criminals. The options, as I see it, are this: 1. They […]

 

Pres. Obama’s Weakness Means Danger To The U.S.

Pres. Obama could be the poster boy for what happens when others see you as weak. Obama imagined that bowing and scraping and using his pretty words would endear him to the world. He imagined he would show the international community how different he was from Bush with his “cowboy diplomacy.” Well, one thing Bush […]

 

A Nut With A Gun? Don’t Dismiss Hasan’s Evil as Insanity

Jeffery Dahmer killed his first victim in 1978. Over the next 13 years, he would kill 17 people. When police finally arrested Dahmer, they found a human head in the refrigerator. Not long after that, they found three more in the freezer, along with a human heart. The police would learn the depths of one […]

 

Today’s Andrew Sullivan Obvious
Lack of Self-Awareness Update

Having been on the road a lot lately, I’ve had little time to keep track of the psycho-dramatic peregrinations of Andrew Sullivan. One of the most hysterically laughable aspects of Sully’s recent blogging is how he engages in psychological projection, accusing others of his own most obvious faults, to wit: I’ve heard it before from […]

 

The Grey Lady Gets It Wrong – Again

Editorializing yesterday, the New York Times says: Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. took a bold and principled step on Friday toward repairing the damage wrought by former President George W. Bush with his decision to discard the nation’s well-established systems of civilian and military justice in the treatment of detainees captured in antiterrorist operations. From […]

 

Decline of the Brady Campaign, rise of Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and the assault on the Second in Pennsylvania

Believers in the Second Amendment have much to be happy about, even with having a strongly anti-2nd president in power, and a party in control of Congress that traditionally doesn’t respect the 2nd Amendment. Not only have pro-2nd activists generally held the line on rights, they’ve expanded them in some cases. Obviously we had the […]

 

Beer-Swilling Stimulus: Taxpayers to Fork Over $17 Million for Billy Carter Gas Station Preservation!

Wonders never cease! From the Los Angeles Times, “Billy Carter’s Old Gas Station: A National Monument?“: In the age of the $787-billion stimulus package, it is, perhaps, a modest question: Should the American taxpayer foot the bill to enshrine the gas station run by the late Billy Carter — the beer-swilling, wisecracking, self-professed redneck brother […]

 


Bowing Before Monarchs and Tyrants: Obama ‘Restores’ America’s World Standing With His Head Down – UPDATE: REAGAN DIDN’T BOW!!

The headline up top is borrowed from Power Line, “Why is This Man Bowing?” (via Memeorandum): Obama’s breach of protocol is of a piece with the substance of his foreign policy. He means to teach Americans to bow before monarchs and tyrants. He embodies the ideological multiculturalism that sets the United States on the same […]

 

The top ten bombshells from Sarah Palin’s new book

1. Katie Couric was totally hitting on her before their interview. 2. McCain really only picked her for Veep in an attempt to make Mrs. McCain jealous (it worked). 3. It also made Meghan jealous. 4. The boots are left over from an old Nazi Mistress costume. 5. Sarah was the quiet mousy girl nobody […]

 

Liberals are just people whose fathers never told them that money doesn’t grow on trees.

I’m painting with a broad brush, of course. I’m applying one guy’s statement to a large (although not the largest) segment of American society. Still, I think I’m on solid ground here. Liberals think money grows on trees. Ezra Klein, talking about the health care “reform” bill currently being bandied about in the U.S. Senate: […]

 


Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to Stand Trial in New York: Attorney General Holder Gets Some Satisfaction for Terror-Backing Democratic-Left

It’s big news. From CNN, “Accused 9/11 Plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Faces New York Trial.” And perhaps a bit dangerous. From Red State, “Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to Be Sent to New York for Trial.” There have been reports in the past month about another potential terrorist attack disrupted in New York City. Bringing these high […]

 

Why Is Sarah Palin Dissing Conservative Media?

Associated Press was provided with an advance copy of Sarah Palin’s new book, Going Rogue, so they get the scoop on its contents. I attempted to get an advance copy of Palin’s book. No dice. Embargoed. “Under lock and key,” I was told. So the American Spectator doesn’t get the scoop. Neither does National Review, […]

 

Family Sues Gun Club Over Negligent Death of Eight Year Old Boy Allowed to Shoot Uzi

As a parent of five children, I understand the responsibility I have for each of them. I am responsible for their health and welfare and everything that goes with it. I am responsible for good decision making that keeps them from danger. Which is why I find it repulsive that a father who not only […]

 

For Years, California Government Looted Safety Deposit Boxes for General Fund

Where do you put your important documents? I know quite a few people who use a safety deposit box to hold very important items, feeling it is a safer place to hold things they don’t want to lose. But what if the state changes the laws concerning when property is considered “abandoned?” Over the years, […]

 

America Needs Industry, Obama Needs Therapy

More so than any other time in our history, Americans are beginning to believe there are no solutions to the many crises that we are experiencing. Even on a local level, which is often cushioned from the national difficulties of excess spending, a drastically increasing deficit and a larger percentage of our debt being own […]

 


Yousef al-Khattab, New York Fanatical Muslim, Cheers Fort Hood Massacre

From Fox News, “New York-Based Radical Muslim Hails Fort Hood Massacre“:: :  :  A New York City bicycle cabbie who mocked the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl and posted a prayer on the Web calling for the murder of Jews is now sending a “Get Well Soon” message to the suspected Fort Hood gunman, the […]

 

Our Commander in Chief Doesn’t “Get” the Military

“What Vice President Cheney calls ‘dithering,’ President Obama calls his solemn responsibility to the men and women in uniform and to the American public,” said Gibbs. “I think we’ve all seen what happens when somebody doesn’t take that responsibility seriously.” ~White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Life is full of mysteries, but chief among them […]

 

Anwar al Awlaki, Fanatical Mentor to Nidal Malik Hasan, Calls for ‘Allah’s Victory’ Over West

From Jawa Report, here’s the webpage for Anwar al Awlaki, Nidal Malik Hasan’s religious mentor at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia. Al Awlaki boasts of the Taliban “making U.S. soldiers” cry in Afghanistan and argues for destroying enemy armies: “Establishing Islamic sharia is an obligation, and fighting in the cause of Allah […]
