“And Israel’s vaunted intelligence services can’t tell their superiors what Obama will do, since few (if any) of the president-elect’s supporters know what he intends to do. In fact, the president-elect may not know himself. He’s a babe in the woods, and the woods are full of wolves.” — Ralph Peters Over at the Guardian, […]

After several months of trying to figure out what Conor Friedersdorf’s problem was, now I see: I graduated from college in 2002, when newspapers really were skeptical of blogs. By 2004, I was being paid by a Media News Group paper to blog full time. In 2006, I attended a top flight journalism school where […]

Peterr at FireDogLake points to a quote by Munib Younan, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land in which he likens the security wall Israel erected to the Berlin wall: [W]ho would have imagined that less than two decades later we would be back to building walls? I have no […]

Interesting story here. In a federal courtroom in Minneapolis this month, the public transformation of Brandon Darby of Austin will become complete. In four years, he has gone from a never-trust-the-government activist to the confidential informant who helped the FBI arrest two Austin men on suspicion of building firebombs during the Republican National Convention in […]

The “Muslim world” and its friends caterwaul constantly that America never gives its leaders and its people fair consideration, that it doesn’t treat them as “full partners” in various and sundry “dialogues” and “processes,” and that it unfairly favors the literate and liberal Zionist regime that causes all the world’s problems. It’s really quite a […]

Well, I had an interesting, if somewhat pissed off sounding, post about AGW teed up, but, then I ran across the unhinged Left at Firedoglake There’s more evidence today of Israeli use of cluster bombs, originally noted by Laura Doty at Oxdown. The Times of London features a photo in it’s coverage (see Gaza Conflict […]

A federal investigation into a company that did business with the state of New Mexico has spurred Obama’s pick for Commerce Sec. Bill Richardson to withdraw his nomination. And from the IHT, word on a possible quid pro quo scandal involving Obama’s nominee for Sec. of State Hillary Clinton: WASHINGTON: A developer in New York […]

Barack Obama, who campaigned on promising the American people the most ethical, open and transparent Administration ever, if elected, is going to be looking for a new Secretary of Commerce, now that his first choice, Bill Richardson has withdrew his name for the position due to an ongoing investigation: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, tapped […]

Glenn Greenwald today accuses Michael Goldfarb of bloodthirstiness in the death of Nizar Ghayan (or Nizar Rayan, as some have it). Goldfarb’s offending post was not a mindless advocacy of violence, but rather a reflection on the fundamental difficulty of fighting a fanatical enemy: The fight against Islamic radicals always seems to come around to […]

I am so happy to see that the 700 BILLION dollars is being put to good use; starting with AIG throwing lavish parties after they received their bailout bucks, to banking friends of useless Secretary Treasurer Henry Paulson getting billions. The latest travesty of bailout bucks recipients, (that shouldn’t have been given out in the […]

As a connoisseur of the insanity of the Left, I always enjoy a little dumpster diving into the fever swamps when something big happens. Let’s look at the story first, posted by Hissyspit France leads alarm over Gaza, splits with US PARIS (AFP) – France spearheaded alarmed reaction from European nations as Israeli tanks and […]

Carter could be looking for some handouts from somewhere if this story proves true and these lawsuits hit his charitable organization hard: RESIDENTS of a model housing estate bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities and hand-built by Jimmy Carter, the former US president, are complaining that it is falling apart. Fairway Oaks was built on northern Florida […]

Not just Jackson though…he also urged against Rep. Danny Davis and State Sen. Emil Jones. All of these individuals just so happen to be black. However, Dingy Harry put his stamp of approval on Tammy Duckworth or Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. These two individuals just so happen to not be white. If this would […]

In today’s WSJ, there’s an op-ed from Dianne Feinstein, urging Obama, when president, to shut down America’s nuclear arsenal. To make her point, she opens with an anecdote about Ronald Reagan: When Barack Obama becomes America’s 44th president on Jan. 20, he should embrace the vision of a predecessor who declared: “We seek the total […]

I had told my 72-year-old mother exactly how to get to the parking lot at the Petersen Building in Los Angeles, right between Beverly Hills and the Miracle Mile. I had forgotten that it is right across the street from the Israeli Consulate. When I entered the parking lot I first saw what appeared to […]

And right in the nick of time: NEW YORK CITY, NY – In deep financial trouble , the New York Times has ceased printing news stories and, instead, begun selling a variety of home-baked pies. “Some of our staff have experience making such things,” said Times spokesperson Julian Van Dyke. “As a result, we’ve laid […]

This morning I said I’d defer all future Blago blogging to Marathon Pundit, but the revelation of Harry Reid’s involvement in the Illinois Senate Auction (what else would you call it?) is too rich to ignore. I especially appreciate liberal blogger Chris Bowers’ take: [U]sing “electability” as the rationale, Reid did advocate on behalf of […]

I assume that most lists of the Best Conservative Books of 2008 will place Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism in the number one spot. The long-awaited first book by the National Review‘s deservingly popular young writer didn’t disappoint; not only was it an instant bestseller, but it contributed a new phrase to the conservative vocabulary, and […]

The coming spectacle of seating IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s choice for the vacated Senate seat of Barack Obama promises to be quite a show. You have a sitting governor charged with corruption in government, specifically a little pay-to-play scandal concerning the Obama Senate seat, refusing to step down as demanded and appointing a replacement anyway. […]

You don’t have to travel to the Middle East to witness the rise of Islamofascist insanity. This was the scene in downtown Fort Lauderdale Tuesday: The shouts of “Nuke Israel” and “Go back to the oven” nicely sum up the politically correct, pro-terrorist attitude toward Israel. The guy with the Obama hat and terrorist kaffiyeh […]

Not everyone wants rotting hippie corpses in their neighborhood — unfortunately for an aspiring moonbat mortician. MACON, Ga. — Elizabeth Collins, a gardener, birdwatcher and a self-described “renaissance woman,” wanted to start a “natural” cemetery where bodies would be buried without embalming, coffins or vaults. She and a partner bought a plot of land here […]

The problem with Obama’s plan for government run healthcare is the same as for socialized health care.  Yes, there is a difference, but ultimately, his plan will end up costing more than it is expected too.  I wrote about this extensively here.  For a great example of why this is destined to happen, look to […]
