Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) is up for re-election in 2010. Apparently, she’s looking to be on unemployment rather than being paid to do work (yes, I’m being sarcastic). She voted to proceed with the debate on the Senate version of Obamacare. Yesterday, she voted to table the amendment offered by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) that would pretty much make sure any federal funds would not | Read More »
Who in the Wide World of Sports is Mantadhar al-Zeidi? He’s the dork who threw his shoes at George W. Bush when that President visited Iraq for the last time. Al-Zeidi was arrested not long after that. Like a good terrorist, he claimed that he was tortured. Naturally, sock puppet Glenn Greenwald believed al-Zeidi the “journalist”; to Greenwald, a journalist is someone who claims to | Read More »
Despite the fact that the lame-stream media hasn’t made a big deal out of Climategate, there are plenty of others registering their disgust with the whole thing. The guy whose name gave us the word “moonbat”, George Monbiot, has figuratively called for “heads to roll”. Yesterday, it was Clive Crook at The Atlantic in a blistering piece (do read it). One of those in the | Read More »
I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am thankful for having a very wonderful family, starting with my wife, her great kids, and the family that has welcomed me since we moved down here to Arkansas. I am thankful to my wonderful father and stepmother, my brother and his wife and kids, my uncle, my aunt, and my cousins and their families. | Read More »
Joe Klein. He starts out by listing what some of his journalistic colleagues saw as a few of President Obama’s failures over the past few weeks. Then he has this to say: As a fully licensed pundit, I have the authority to weigh in here … but I demur. Oh, I could sling opinions about every one of the events cited above — some were | Read More »
Poor dear. Newsweek blogger Katie Connolly has her knickers in a twist over Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh calling Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) a prostitute, one that is easy but not cheap considering Reid bought her health “reform” vote last Saturday for $300 million; it has been colloquially called “The New Louisiana Purchase”. Connolly goes into a long-winded explanation of whom she claims really wanted | Read More »
Man, I wish I could take full credit for this post. But I can’t. The credit and Hat Tip belongs to Ed Morrissey. The One’s puppets in his Organizing for America group put out a statement that was reported in The Hill: President Obama’s political operation took a shot at Sarah Palin today, accusing her of lying on her media blitz. “It’s dangerous,” Organizing for | Read More »
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) is up for re-election next year. She passes herself off as a moderate, someone who is on the fence about supporting the health “reform” fiasco that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), so he says, is trying to force through this Saturday with a procedural vote to start debate. Looking at her voting record for this session of Congress, Lincoln hasn’t shown herself | Read More »
Attorney General Eric Holder testified before Congress yesterday regarding this whole trying Al Qaeda war criminals in a civilian court. There are plenty of posts blogging Holder’s tussle with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), so go to the link if you want to view them (or view them again if you’ve already seen them). Also go see Scott Johnson’s and Andy McCarthy’s smackdown of a document | Read More »
Back in February, Attorney General Eric Holder had the nerve to call Americans cowards when it came to race. Today, as reported by Bill Kristol, Holder said the following: In his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Eric Holder will say, according to the Associated Press, that “I have every confidence the nation and the world will see him for the coward he is….I’m | Read More »
You heard that right, folks, statists don’t get that they’re the problem when it comes to sexism and racism. Oh they like to say they stand up against those things; but even when they appear to do so, it usually falls so short as to appear farcical. Case in point, Salon harridan Joan Walsh tries to take Newsweek to task for the sexist cover with | Read More »
President Barack Obama’s and Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try any of the terrorists in the civilian courts is utterly ridiculous. Even if the terrorists are tried in the federal courts for committing an illegal act of war, which should be on top of the list of charges brought, a question I asked here begs for further study: Here’s something else: are there 12 | Read More »
There aren’t enough curse words I’ve thought up to describe the Obama administration’s decision to bring KSM and his “Merry Band” of cutthroat terrorists to U.S. soil to stand trial in civilian courts. It is just rotten to the core. Being the cynical jerk that I am, I am in total agreement with Andy McCarthy’s take on why The One and Holder are trying these | Read More »
This is just coming out: Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court, an Obama administration official said Friday. The others are Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi, and Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali. The AP piece explains what the other terrorists are accused of | Read More »
As is already known, President Obama has thrown out all the plans to implement the strategy he says he wants for Afghanistan. Since Gen. Stanley McChrystal let out that he wants around 40,000 additional troops in order for the plan to succeed, Obama has been accused of dithering and falling far short of anything resembling someone who supposed to be the Commander in Chief of | Read More »
Today is Veterans Day. It was all of the battles they’ve fought, and all of the sacrifices they had to make, that allows America to be the land for freedom for all people, the example that other nations can follow if they want their people to be as free; the land of the free. And for the veterans, we acknowledge that this is their home, | Read More »
One of the arguments that is made by those who support the statists’ version of health care “reform” is that the government needs to have more and more control of it as a benefit to the general welfare of the American people. Those like President Obama and those who worship him will say they have plans ready to go, plans that have been in development | Read More »
Via Hot Air, previously ousted Honduran President and Chavez-wannabe Manuel Zelaya will return to power as President for the remainder of his term after an agreement between Zelaya and the Honduran government was accepted. There are some caveats (emphasis from Ed Morrissey): Mr Micheletti said that Mr Zelaya could return to office after a vote in Congress that would be authorised by the country’s Supreme | Read More »
I sometimes wonder where President Obama is on this whole national security thing. I mean, the oath he took on January 20th of this year states: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” I would | Read More »
From Drudge, “Interracial couple denied marriage license in La.“: A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Ah. It’s for…the children. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long. In their | Read More »
