Radley Balko over at his excellent blog, The Agitator, has managed to draw a lot of attention to the case of Cory Maye, a cop killer, scheduled to be executed for his crime. Unfortunately, Radley initially got a lot of important facts wrong about the case and although to his credit, he has corrected those […]

I haven’t gotten around to seeing the new King Kong movie yet and to be honest, I’ll probably end up catching it when it comes out on DVD. The original was kind of a depressing story to begin with and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe & Harry Potter and […]

President George Bush today, confirmed a recent Newsweek magazine cover story, admitting that he’s “living in a bubble” — isolated and aloof. “I confess that I don’t wake up each day on the same planet as Newsweek’s editors,” said Mr. Bush. “So, I guess I’m isolated from the world where the U.S. is always wrong, […]

The U.S. House today passed a bill to reduce federal spending on such programs as NCLB, health care, job training, and other so-called discretionary items. The vote was 215-213, in favor of less discretionary spending by the federal gummint. The partisan breakdown of that vote was: 0/200 = Democrats in favor of less spending (0%). […]

You think comparing Bush to Hitler is innapropriate? Well, you’re right — it is — but, I can top it. Just wait until you see who The Huffington Post’s RJ Eskow is comparing executed quadruple murderer and Crips co-founder Tookie Williams to…. “This season, America celebrates a holiday whose premise is that God himself came […]

A lot of people, myself included, were panning the idea of using trailers to house Katrina victims because of the enormous cost involved. It turns out that not only are they expensive, but — unsurprisingly if you think about it — it takes too long to get the trailers set-up on a large scale to […]

After reading this article on snitching, I’m well prepared to believe that there are serious problems with the way our nation’s police forces use informers. But this seems a little bit crazy to me: Finally, as the T-shirt controversy illustrates, snitching exacerbates crime, violence, and distrust in some of the nation’s most socially vulnerable communities.

“What a perfect arrangement: The only country that every country has a right to condemn can be relied upon to do the world’s dirty work.

Via Traffic Non-Santa, some dopey revolutionary sabre-rattling from Salon’s Cary Tennis: At a certain point in the near future, if the current oligarchy cannot be removed via the ballot, direct political action may become an urgent and compelling mission.

The guy at the top may have changed in the Palestinian territories, but the support for terrorists obviously hasn’t: “The head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, has approved a new law, providing monetary grants to the families of suicide bombers. Abbas gave his approval just six days ago, a day before a suicide bomber […]

There was a lot of undeserved early buzz about a piece at the Old Grey Lady called, “Conservative Blogs are More Effective.” The long and short of this under-400-word article is that conservative blogs have a bigger impact than liberal blogs because we don’t tear into Republicans (Only someone who never reads conservative blogs could […]

It has been brought to my attention that the libs at CodePink are encouraging people not to buy war toys for their kids for Christmas. So we have pacifistic liberals acting like pacifistic liberals. There’s nothing surprising about that per se. But these 2 suggestions on CodePink’s were really obnoxious: Place “surgeon general-type” warning labels […]

Popular lefty cartoonist and columnist Ted Rall, who has a knack for saying what liberals really think but are afraid to say, has a message for his fellow travelers on the left: “You can drop the “support the troops” shtick now.” That’s from Rally’s latest column.
