BRILLIANT Idea, Sherlock!

Boy, that MoveOn.org ad worked out well for the far left, didn’t it?
The Senate voted Thursday to condemn an advertisement by the liberal anti-war group MoveOn.org that accused the top military commander in Iraq of betrayal.
The 72-25 vote condemned the full-page ad that appeared in The New York Times last week as Gen. David Petraeus, […]

Deep Thoughts

This is the bumper sticker I would most like to see (inspired by all the insipid drivel I’m forced to read in Austin traffic):
Nothing profound has ever been written on a bumper sticker - including this one.
My favorite(?) of late I spotted on the way home yesterday:
Earth Citizen For Peace
Now think about that for a […]

The Wrong Thing To Say

Time and time again the extremist elements on the left (and occasionally on the right, as well) overestimate their reach among the rank and file and go way, way too far. This time, it was MoveOn.org:
Republicans have seized on a liberal advocacy group’s print ad attacking Gen. David Petraeus and have called on Senate […]

“The Lunatics Are Running The Asylum” Department

I have commented before on the absolutely disgustingly large proportion of ‘progressives’ who are infantile enough to believe that 9/11 was an inside job. Being at “Ground Zero”, so to speak, here in Austin, I see it almost daily (I’m quite serious). I think many of my readers who maybe aren’t exposed to […]

How Far Off The Deep End Do You Have To Be…

…to have even the infamous Robert Fisk (of ‘fisking’ fame) call you a nut?
Each time I lecture abroad on the Middle East, there is always someone in the audience – just one – whom I call the “raver”. Apologies here to all the men and women who come to my talks with bright and pertinent […]

Some Sobering, If Early, Electoral Projections…

…ought to put the fear of God into those Republicans clinging to the now antiquated notion that Hillary can never be elected president.  Look for yourself…the maps are of Hillary vs. Giuliani and Clinton vs. Romney, based on current polling.
Several caveats: it’s early, and early polling doesn’t mean a lot; the data is gathered by […]

Put THAT In Your Pipe And Smoke It

In truth, I like few things better than a good debunking, and when the debunking is aimed at the morons in the 9/11 ‘Truth’ movement, so much the better:
In what will surely be seen as a defining moment for the 9/11 truther movement, the History Channel has delivered a blow for sanity and rationalism by […]

An Even More Inconvenient Truth

We all know that 1998 was the warmest year on record, and that 5 of the warmest years ever occurred in the last ten years.
We all know this, and we’re all wrong.
An intrepid gentleman by the name of Steve McIntyre investigated some anomalies with the official NASA weather records, and discovered a mistake…a big mistake. […]

Another Debate Today…

…but then, there’s a debate every day, isn’t there?  This one was won by Mitt Romney, says Mark Halperin, but he also says Rudy accomplished job #1 - staying clear of big gaffes…
Meanwhile, 7 of the 8 Democrats kowtowed to the Nutroots® this weekend, if you haven’t already heard.  Don’t know who won, but the […]

Don’t Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out…

I didn’t get to chance to blog this yesterday, but this is one W. Churchill we can all do without:
A professor scorned for remarks about Sept. 11 victims vowed that his firing over allegations of plagiarism, falsification and other misconduct wouldn’t end his 2-year dispute with the University of Colorado.
“New game, new game,” said […]

Dirty Harry The Self-Indulgent

One of the signs of either (a) the delusional true believer, or (b) the complete hack is the unwillingness to accept reality as it is. Many have accused our Commander-in-Chief of this flaw, but it certainly applies to his opponents. Witness the reaction from the lefty blogosphere’s leading lights to the latest Republican […]

This Is A Debate?

I made it exactly eight minutes into the supposed Democratic ‘debate’ on PBS tonight - not even long enough for the candidates to come on stage…but after the second plug for the book “The Covenant With Black America”, I decided that, though I may force myself to watch a political debate, I’ll be damned if […]

The Need To Call Out The Lunatics Has Never Been Stronger…

…and that’s a bipartisan statement.  In the wake of the second and probably final defeat of the immigration bill, it’s worth reflecting on the shameful tactics used, mostly by opponents of the bill, including ludicrous assertions that Bush was trying to give up sovereignty of this country to Mexico, and the tried and true “I […]

Jimmy Carter, FOE (Friend Of Extremists)

Everybody sing - all together now!
ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE ISLAMIC EXTREMISM A CHANCE!
The most disgraceful of former presidents sinks even lower:

The United States, Israel and the European Union must end their policy of favoring Fatah over Hamas, or they will doom the Palestinian people to deepening conflict between the rival movements, former US […]

We’ll Mark You Down As “Not A Fan”

George Will on Harry Reid’s transparently phony excuse for pulling the immigration bill:
Harry Reid, the Senate’s majority leader and resident Uriah Heep, affected ‘umble and syrupy sadness about the Senate’s inability to pass the immigration bill that he pulled from the floor last Thursday evening for a transparently meretricious reason. Saying the Senate’s time was […]

A Most Unwelcome Return…And A Very Welcome Departure

He’s back, unfortunately:
Moqtada al-Sadr is back. After months away from the public eye, the young firebrand participated in Friday prayers at a mosque in Kufa, Iraq.
“No, no to the unjust! No, no to America! No, no to colonialism! No, no to Israel! No, no to Satan,” he said, according to AFP.
Sadr renewed his demand […]

The Little Libertarian

Ron Paul’s reading list is as pathetic as his presidential campaign - how do we know this? Because he gave us a preview as he attempted to ’school’ the public figure who was on the spot at the heart of Ground Zero on the finer points of terrorism by recommending that he read…wait for it…Chalmers […]

Exploding The “We Overreacted To 9/11″ Myth

Michael Chertoff, the Secretary of Homeland Security, has an absolutely essential piece in today’s Washington Post that takes on the foolish subset of (mostly liberal) Americans who somehow manage to come to the conclusion that there is no need for a war on terror:
As the rubble of the Twin Towers smoldered in 2001, no one […]

Kucinich To File Articles Of Impeachment Against Cheney

Sigh…it’s a good thing there’s not real work to be done in Congress:
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
Kucinich has made […]

Senator Levin: We Will Not Stop Funding The War

A Democratic senator with big-time influence and authority is quite publicly sending a message to Harry Reid and other Democrats who have thrown their lot in with the Nutroots®, and the message is this: we won’t stop funding for the war.
The Senate will not stop paying for the Iraq war nor relent from insisting that […]
