The Savage Atheist

"But with regards to the mass slaughters of the previous century, there is simply no way to escape the established fact that individual atheists have been among mankind's very worst killers. This doesn't mean that the average atheist is any more likely to be homicidally inclined than anyone else, it does, however, cast serious doubt on the common atheist assertion that a godless society will be a peaceful one. The significant question has never been if atheism causes political leaders to kill in large quantities, it is why political leaders who happen to be atheist have been inordinately inclined to kill in large quantities."

Evolutionists Flock To Darwin-Shaped Wall Stain

"Capitalizing on the influx of empirical believers, street vendors have sprung up across Dayton, selling evolutionary relics and artwork to the thousands of pilgrims waiting to catch a glimpse of the image. Available for sale are everything from small wooden shards alleged to be fragments of the "One True Beagle"—the research vessel on which Darwin made his legendary voyage to the Galapagos Islands—to lecture notes purportedly touched by English evolutionist Alfred Russel Wallace."

Hey. That 'burnt toast Jesus visage' got nothin' on these faithful.

"US-EU Trade War Looms"

And, so, it starts. Fast on the heels of profligate & stupid follows the EU's certain reaction:

"The EU trade commissioner vowed to fight back after the bill passed in the House of Representatives late on Wednesday included a ban on most purchases of foreign steel and iron used in infrastructure projects."

Hope n change acts a lot like unintended consequences.

Anthropogenic Global Warming

The greatest fraud in history?

"In AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) bad data has been very widespread, and judging by past performance, it may still be endemic. Thermometers are placed in hot areas in the cities, and the data is shamelessly generalized to the whole world. The infamous “hockey stick” temperature diagram has been exposed. James Hansen has brought NASA to its lowest point ever by repeatedly endorsing false data.

In any healthy field of science, that disastrous empirical record would have discredited the hypothesis. But while the data seems to crash periodically, the models don’t change in their catastrophism.

Read the headlines in SCIENCE magazine any week, and you can see that grinding process of doubt, clarification, and constant revision going on. In real science researchers can be forgiven for making a few errors, but not many known or suspected frauds are denied tenure or fired. They are essentially blacklisted for the rest of their careers. The process is utterly Darwinian, and it works.

Except for the global warming hype. Here, we’re supposed to accept the word of media types who know nothing about science, and care only about the next big headline."

Here are seven more fundamental violations of scientific integrity in the AGW game:

Obama cranks up White House heat to ward off bitterly cold glow bull warming

"There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”"

Oh. Well. That's different. Vastly different than the campaign trail rhetoric:

"We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times,..."

Hope n Change feels a lot like hypocrisy.

Profligate & Stupid, together at last

"Democratic protectionists loaded up the bill with “Buy American” clauses that shut out foreign producers of steel and iron. Just as in the Depression, however, that will force other nations to close their markets — which will virtually recreate the Smoot-Hawley fiasco that made the Depression exponentially worse:"

Obama's Homeland Security Sect'y wants 'criminal aliens' out of US

Criminal aliens? No, no, no! According to La Racist, all those undocumented people didn't cross the border; the border crossed them!

"If you're a criminal and you're not entitled to be in the United States, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wants you out of the country.

Napolitano wants what she calls "criminal aliens" off American streets. She is looking at existing immigration enforcement programs to see if taxpayers are getting the most bang for their buck."

Gee, Janet, you almost sound like a good republican. And I wonder how White House aide Cecilia Muñoz feels about that? Munoz had been in charge of La Raza's legislative and lobbying efforts as recently as last year.

"The goal, Napolitano said, is for federal immigration officials to know whether an inmate is in the country illegally immediately after he is processed into a detention facility. After the criminal serves his or her sentence, immigration officials can be ready to deport that person right away.

ICE spokesman Richard Rocha said the agency plans to expand this connectivity to all state and local detention centers over the next four years.

Napolitano, whose job includes overseeing immigration laws, says she also will go after criminal fugitives who are in the country illegally."

ICE?? But those agents act like terrorists! So said Janet Napolitano's boss, President Obama, to La Racist - just last summer.



Hope n Change sounds a lot like hypocrisy. No worries, though, for Obama's illegal alien aunt.

Ask The Tax Guys

Apparently, only US Treasury Secretary Timothy 'turbo tax' Geithner doesn't need their advice. Oh. Congressman Charlie Rangel doesn't have much of a problem, either.

All others pay interest & penalties.

You Can Put Lipstick On A Stimulus Plan...

...but it's still generational theft.


House Passes $819 Billion Economic Stimulus

"The measure passed 244 to 188, with 11 Democrats and 177 Republicans voting against it."

So where was this stubborn Republican refusal to sup at the public pork trough during the last eight years?

Bias? What Bias?

Obama staffer also works as photographer for Time Magazine.

“The real problem lies in the perception,” said one White House photographer. “Do [readers] think when they pick up Time magazine they are getting objective coverage?”

Oh, please. That train left the station years ago.

Obama gets the Mad Magazine treatment

I haven't read Mad Magazine since I was a kid. Between that, and Scientific American, I had a pretty well-rounded education.

Looks like the irreverent rag is still kicking, though soon to be a quarterly, due to the same maladies for most dead tree publications.

It's not the first time Obama got the Alfred E. Newman treatment. Probably won't be the last. But take heart, Barry. Those Mad Illustrators took the same delight in your predecessor.

Had these been Republicans, we would have had endless lectures from the Globe about the “culture of corruption”."

Unsold Super Bowl ads make it the 'economy bowl'

One week before kickoff is usually a sweet time for the granddaddy of over-priced hype - even at $3 million for 30 second ad spots. But not this year.

"This close to game time, it’s unusual to have any of the 67 time slots unsold.

The network, which will show next Sunday’s game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers, had no trouble getting takers for its record-high $3 million-per-half-minute spots — before Labor Day.

After that, sales fizzled along with the economy."

Hollywood Conservatives: Should They Just Shut Up and Entertain?

That's what La Shawn Barber over at Pajamas media wants to know.

"Right-leaning actors and decision-makers do exist, though they’re not as vocal as their liberal counterparts. Perhaps Big Hollywood will encourage conservatives in Tinseltown to talk about their views loud and often. Just shut up and entertain, you say? Like it or not, political ideologies shape the entertainment culture and influence what’s produced in Hollywood.

Having said that, complaining about liberal Hollywood is pointless, but it’s easier than doing something about it. In that regard, I agree with Entertainment Weekly’s Gary Susman:

"[I]f conservative Hollywood wants to make more openly ideological movies, it should stop whining and make them."

Agreed. But, obviously, Hollywood is already making ideological movies. Left leaning ideological movies, and lots of 'em. Not only is Hollywood very left leaning, but so is the majority of their audience which pays to see their product - and that includes a huge foreign audience.

That’s the rub. Foreign money finances a lot of Hollywood productions, and it paid off, too. Hollywood grossed a record overseas box office in 2008.

For many in Hollywood, it's a match made in agitprop heaven. Hollywood's sentiments aren’t full of quaint lil provincial notions of ‘God Bless America’. Lefties want the world to love ‘em, and are truly perplexed that Americans don't. That’s why these primping hollyweird loudmouths went overseas to spout off against ‘the chimp’.

It’s also why they flocked to produce & star in BOX OFFICE BOMBS like Rendition, Redacted, Lions For Lambs, In The Valley of Elah, War, Inc., Taxi To The Darkside, Stop Loss, etc. Oh, and let’s not forget Bill Maher’s lil piece of religulus bigotry. (Can Bill spell ‘hate speech?’)

For conservatives, the best solution not to be abused by these duplicitous adolescent celluloid screeds is to simply not pay to see them. But others do pay - especially overseas. This grates & beguiles on a global distribution stage. Yet, it's conservatives who are routinely condemned for being mean and divisive. For many critical thinking Americans, it is the most unkind cut of all from some of our own.

The people of the U.S. of A. don’t mind folks speaking out; it’s simply that some folks - do to opportunity & fame - have a greater ability to do so. But the people of the U.S. of A. do mind these folks who act like ungrateful punks, and show no respect for the blessings imparted by that opportunity & fame in order to indulge in self-absorb tirades.

Conservatives are antithetical to that hollweird ungrateful punk mentality. And, apparently, it won’t be tolerated by those who claim to be so tolerant.

Fool's Parade

"There's probably no God" tour enjoys brief success around Europe & Australia.

"Unsurprisingly, the campaign has struck a nerve among God-fearing commuters, prompting around 200 complaints to Britain's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which regulates commercials here.

"A few religious people have complained to the ASA, which seems rather odd, as if they (the ASA) will be able to make a judgment about the evidence on that sort of issue," said Peter Cave, chair of the Humanist Philosopher's Group, which advises the British Humanist Association."

Agnostics and atheists have always been around. And, in the West, we celebrate free speech. Rest assured that atheists cannot prove an absolute negative, and agnostics must rely on faith that their doubt is correct.

I'll simply leave you with a more well known slogan: "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."

Uber-left President Butts Heads w/ Ultra-right Conservatives; Declares 'I won!'

Limbaugh, Schimbaugh. Obama has the same problem with Sean Hannity.

Is there an ego in the room?

And can you imagine the spittle flecked liberal tirades if 'the chimp' had dared chastise democrats to not listen to one media outlet or personality??

The bully pulpit not with standing, what's disturbing about this story is Obama's quasi-autocratic tone from his position as President with pronouncements of "I won" which appear to discount the equal third of Congress' place in this triad government.

Obama may find an early end to the congressional honeymoon if he continues to press his unidirectional sophistry of 'bi-partisanship' - all the while condemning congressional conservatives for listening to other conservatives (like Limbaugh) "if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration." (A 'get along' that Obama never practiced in his short stint as a senator.)

Freed Gitmo Detainee Now Al Qaeda Chief

Update below.

"The militant, Said Ali al-Shihri, is suspected of involvement in a deadly bombing of the United States Embassy in Yemen’s capital, Sana, in September. He was released to Saudi Arabia in 2007 and passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists before resurfacing with Al Qaeda in Yemen."

S-L rightly questions the timing of this story on the heels of Obama's E/O to close the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay.

Or did he close it?

Update: Bush gave lip service to closing Gitmo, too. So where will Obama put the terrorists?

Pics: Inside the Tunnels of Gaza

The purpose of tunnels is to transport items that you do not wish discovered. With the slow down of hostilities between Israel & Hamas, the Palestinians have resumed their rat hole ways of smuggling under the border with Egypt.

"Before the Israeli offensive, some 90 percent of all products entering Gaza each month --as much as $40 million worth of contraband -- came through the tunnels from Egypt, Omar Shaban, an economist who runs a consulting group in Gaza City said. The underground network was a crucial source of revenue and weapons for Hamas, which charged a one-time digging fee of 11,000 shekels ($2,750) for each tunnel."

Food, fuel, weapons and ammo. But what's up with the goat, Abdul? no pun!



And how 'bout that Hamas® Intifada Baby Armor!

Hope N Change Comes with HUGE Carbon Footprint

Remove all the trash cans for security reasons at an inauguration flooded with frenzied libs, and what do you get?

130 tons of garbage from people who expect others to clean up after 'em. I guess without their Birkenstocks on during that frigid cold day those libs didn't comprehend Obama's 'call to service.'

And what of that record number 600 private jets which glogged D.C.'s airports? Twice as many as at Bush's 2004 party:

"Of course, flying private to a celebration of a populist, pro-environment President is a bit like the Detroit execs jetting to Washington for bailout money. How do you call for social responsibility after touching down in a $40 million, gas-guzzling Gulfstream?"

Doesn't matter. The Church of Glow Bull Warming sells indulgences called carbon credits. Guilt free hypocrisy. Obviously.

Unlike Rush Limbaugh, Uber-Liberals Always Root for the President

As the junior senator from Illinois in the U.S. Congress, Obama's voting record pegged him as an uber-left, hyper partisan politician who never once crossed the aisle. I expect no less of him as President.

I can only pray that the U.S. of A. will succeed in spite of Obama & a sycophant, predominantly leftist congress.

In that light, I can understand radio blow hard Limbaugh's comments:

"RUSH LIMBAUGH ON FNC'S HANNITY: I want him to fail. If his agenda is a far-left, collectivism – some people say socialism – as a conservative, heart-felt, deeply, why would I want socialism to succeed? [Video of the entire exchange]"

How odd for a hyper-partisan conservative loudmouth to say such a thing!

As such, the ever consistent uber-libs have deemed Mr. Limbaugh's dissent as unpatriotic. Plus, he's analogous to Bin Laden. Or something. Because we all know that lefties are bulwarks of patriotism; and have ~never~ called for the 'chimps impeachment'; or issued taunts of 'Boooshitler!', and lefties never wallowed in the perverse 'assassination chic crap'.

Yup. Lefties were especially supportive of GW's success in Iraq.

Implicit in the lefties' attitude is the notion that government is why the U.S. of A. succeeds, and only a very special person on the throne of government can insure that success. Dissent is not patriotic. Not now. Of course.

Please schedule Mr. Limbaugh for re-education in order that he may pledge fealty to The One.

If Neo-Nazis Adopt a Highway, Will They Put Themselves in Trash Bags?

Missouri says "Show Me Swastikas!"

"A neo-Nazi group has adopted a half-mile section of highway in Springfield as part of the state's litter prevention program.

The Springfield unit of the National Socialist Movement (Nazis) has committed to cleaning up trash along the section of U.S. 160 near the city limits in west Springfield."

It's a free speech thang. A 2005 SCOTUS ruling declared that political beliefs are not grounds for any state to exclude an organization from the Adopt-A-Highway program.

The Ku Klux Klan has every right to put themselves into a trash bag, just like the neo-nazis. It's a great country.

Where once again, we have to ask our audience: Is this politician a democrat or a democrat?

Oregon Department of Justice Investigates Openly Homosexual Mayor of Portland for Affair with Legislative Intern.

"The investigation stems from (Mayor Sam) Adams' public apology about his 2005 relationship with Beau Breedlove.

He had long denied having a relationship with Breedlove, but Monday the mayor admitted that they started having a relationship in the summer of 2005, shortly after Breedlove turned 18...

...At the time that Adams said their relationship began, Adams was a city commissioner and Breedlove was a legislative intern."

So, Mr. Mayor, if this lil rump ranger rodeo is legit and above board, why so mysterious? Do city regulations prohibit city officials from 'fraternizing' with interns?? And what is this mayor's political party affiliation???

The Oregonian doesn't mention this mayor's political party affiliation, but it's a local source so maybe it's assumed that all know this mayor's political party.

Nope. The NY Daily news doesn't know (linked above).

The Plain Dealer picked up the AP's wire story, and no mention of the mayor's political affiliation there, either.

Portland's local homosexual community paper is calling for the mayor to resign, and even they don't mention his political party affiliation.

Oh. Wait. He's is a democrat. I'm glad it was so easy to learn.

Charter School Sued for Teaching Islam; Staff Under 'Secrecy Oath?'

This is the same tax payer supported school in Minnesota which didn't fly the American flag for 5 years because they 'didn't know how.'

"The ACLU names Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, or TiZA, and the Minnesota Department of Education in a lawsuit in federal court that says the charter school is using taxpayer money to illegally promote religion."

Charter schools are tax payer financed, but privately run schools, which boast significantly better academic track records than their unionist infested, 'cookie cutter curriculum' public gub'mint school cousins. Customer satisfaction is at the core of Charter schools - and parents like them. A lot.

But does that include the 'democratic demand' to include religious training? The ACLU says 'No', and state law concurs that "while schools should appropriately accommodate students’ religious beliefs, they must be ‘nonsectarian’ under the state’s charter school law." Compounding this problem at TiZA is who is privately running this charter school - essentially a madrassa - in Minnesota:

"The Muslim American Society, a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood, out of which the genocidal terrorist group Hamas emerged."

Perhaps that explains why they 'didn't know how' to fly the American flag?

The Obamas made ten inaugural balls except the one honoring Medal of Honor recipients

"Grant to Barack Obama, president of the United States, and to all in authority your grace and good will. Bless them with your heavenly gifts, give them wisdom and strength to know and to do your will," prayed the Rev. Andy Stanley, one of numerous clerics from several religions to speak."

Hmm. This implies that there is a 'Your' person whom we can know...

Anyway, no cursing was reported from the pulpit. Nor were there any reports of loon toon moonbats outside the Cathedral screaming about the dangers of encroaching theocracy from the religious left.

Odd, isn't it? Maybe they were all too busy cleaning up their own environmentally unfriendly hope n change.

Israel: We've Got Gas! Naturally.

A joint US-Israel exploration finds 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas off of Israel's Mediterranean coast.

"News of the deposit, which is three times as large as a site already in production off the country's southern coast, sent energy shares soaring in a country anxious to reduce its dependency on foreign fuel.

"This is one of the most significant prospects that we have ever tested and appears to be the largest discovery in the company's history," Charles Davidson, Noble's chief executive, said in a statement."

This find could meet Israel's needs for ten years. Now, if only the U.S. would drill and harvest the reserves of its shores.

Oh. And more good news! Lebanon wants a piece of the pie without any of the work. What could go wrong?

Final Act: Bush commutes border patrol agents' sentences

It's about time.

"Bush commuted the 11-year prison sentence of Ignacio Ramos and the 12-year sentence of Jose Alonso Compean, who were tried for shooting an unarmed Mexican drug smuggler in the buttocks in a case in Texas that drew widespread attention.

Their 2006 conviction drew an outcry from supporters who said the agents had been treated too harshly and were just doing their jobs. Under the commutation, their prison sentences will expire on March 20.

"He (Bush) believes that the length of the sentence and the conditions of their confinement were too harsh, they suffered enough for their crimes," a White House official said on condition of anonymity."

The unarmed Mexican drug smuggler, Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, was sentenced to less time in jail than the Border Patrol agents.

"Aldrete-Davila had been trying to sneak 743 pounds of marijuana into Fabens, Texas, near El Paso when the agents spotted him."

The official website for Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos is here.

Inaugural Memories: "Hail to the Thief!"

"Under normal conditions, the typical Republican voter is politically inert. He turns out to vote in November, then goes back to working and paying taxes. Twenty years ago, conservative humorist P.J. O'Rourke went to cover one of the massive protest rallies that periodically fill the National Mall in Washington with indignant liberal activists. Returning from the rally, he was asked why Republicans never do anything similar. The answer was obvious: "Because we have jobs!"

That's the simplest explanation for why there will be few if any Republican protesters at Barack Obama's inauguration festivities. While TV news has spent the past week hyping the occasion as a moment of world-historical significance, for the typical Republican, it's just another Tuesday. He will celebrate the occasion by waking up, taking a quick shower, getting dressed, grabbing a cup of coffee and going to work. "

Perhaps the Secret Service didn't get the 'Hope n Change' Memo?

I guess only Candidate Community Organizer wants the homeless around - for their votes. Otherwise, get lost.

Liberals are strangely silent about this hypocrisy. Kinda like their strange silence on the 'do as I say, not as I do' photo I.D. hypocrisy for Obama's election night win.

Hookers aren't welcome, either, which is rather judgmental from a hyper partisan former junior senator who now demands that America reject "small thinking, prejudice and bigotry."

So, how expensive is this inaugural shindig? Obama's inauguration is most expensive ever at $160 million.

With America still at war, and headlong into soaring unemployment, and sinking stock market, plus projected trillion dollar debt, Obama's inaugural profusion quadruples 2005, yet the silence from the left is deafening.

"The federal government has budgeted $49 million for this year’s inauguration, more than triple what taxpayers spent at Bush’s first inauguration in 2001, according to the Office of Management and Budget."

$42 million was spent in 2005 for Bush's second inauguration and the Press ripped GW a new one for the 'extravagance' amid wartime. Not that there's bias, or anything...

But, hey, what's the difference of a hundred million dollars between administrations? Security expenses for President-Elect Lincoln v2.0's extravaganza are so great that President Bush has declared D.C. a FEMA disaster area. Yes, really.

"White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said Tuesday night that D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty had requested the declaration of the city as an emergency zone last week.

Mr. Fenty has said the event will cost the city as much as $75 million. Maryland officials expect state costs to be more than $12 million."

The homeless couldn't possibly use any of that money.

All this while record low glow bull warming temperatures hold the North East in a frigid grip.

Liberals are strangely silent about that dissonance, too.

But the Dems in congress are still focused on all the important stuff: Pelosi is open to prosecution of Bush administration officials.

Finally, in keeping with the Lincoln parallel, Michelle Obama to become depressed & schizophrenic. Really, what else is left to copy?

Update: BTW, that 'team of rivals thing? It didn't work out all that well for Mr. Lincoln.

The AP actually uses the words 'islamic militant' in a story

That's the real headline.

Israel declares unilateral Gaza cease-fire; Hamas says NO.

"JERUSALEM – Israel declared a unilateral cease-fire in its 22-day offensive that turned Gaza neighborhoods into battlegrounds and dealt a stinging blow to the Islamic militants of Hamas, but the government said its troops will stay in the Palestinian territory for now.

Shortly before top leaders voted for the cease-fire at an emergency security meeting, Hamas threatened to keep fighting until Israeli troops leave Gaza."

Yes, yes. I know. I didn't expect Hamas to stop shooting, either, with the Israelis still parked in their driveway, but it's Israel's game so they can dictate the rules.

Hamas spits into the wind in 6,5,4....

Update: Hamas now agrees to cease fire? It's not party time, yet.

"Sunday's announcement came about 12 hours after Israel declared its own unilateral ceasefire.

Hamas' Syrian-based deputy leader, speaking for the militant Palestinian factions, said on Syrian television that the cease-fire will give Israel time to withdraw and open all the border crossings to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza."

Uh, huh. First of all, the IDF has allowed humanitarian aid into Gaza all along, and 'cease fire' in Arabic simply translates into 'reload.'

Secondly, it ain't Hama's terms to dictate, but Israel's.

"In announcing the truce late Saturday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel would withhold fire after achieving its goals and more.

"Hamas was hit hard, in its military arms and in its government institutions. Its leaders are in hiding and many of its men have been killed," Olmert said.

If Hamas holds its fire, the military "will weigh pulling out of Gaza at a time that befits us," Olmert said. If not, Israel "will continue to act to defend our residents."

Globalized Intifada

Belfast, Copenhagen, Calgary, Duisburg, London, Los Angeles, and many, many cities in France:

"...what were billed as “anti-war” demonstrations from Los Angeles to Copenhagen, and beyond were in fact overtly pro-Hamas demonstrations, and on Saturday, January 10 there was a unprecedented eruption of violence and extremism in dozens of European and American cities, surpassing anything seen at anti-war rallies in recent years"

"The western concepts of peace and truces and territorial compromises are not relevant to the conflict with Hamas. No territorial concession will whet their appetite, as the violent reaction to the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza strip in 2005 has shown. Hamas’s stated goal as a Muslim Brotherhood organization is to establish the rule of Islam on earth...

...In their eyes Israel is not marked for destruction because it occupies this or that piece of territory, but because it exists at all as land not governed by Sharia."

BOO-YAH! CBS dumps softcore trash 'Swingtown'

So says CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler. She blames the writer's strike. I say bvllsh1t!

"Swingtown gave viewers a look into a (1970's) world of drugs and sexual experimentation with the premise of open marriage at its core. The show aired as early as 9:00 pm in the Central/Mountain time zones, and aired content such as a ménage à trois, orgies, and the characters enjoying drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and Quaaludes."

The fact is this slimey retard retread of 'turn on, tune in, drop out' made middle America change the channel in droves & advertisers responded accordingly.

"The decision to do so is a testament to the sponsors’ good management and to the powerful voices of concerned citizens across America who spoke out against a program chock-full of graphic content," said PTC President Tim Winter.

Even cable rejected it. BRAVO bought last year's repeats, but dumped it when asked to buy new episodes.

A New Iraq Emerges from Tyranny and War

While cynics are fascinated with a thrown shoe, the real story is Iraq standing on its own and building a bright future.

"Whereas Arab nationalists and Islamist extremists ended up with a pair of shoes, Iraqis ended up with their sovereignty, democracy, and friendship with the United States. Those hypocrites did not lift a finger to help Iraq at a time of hardship. On the contrary, they used all the means they could muster to bring democratization in Iraq and the Middle East to a halt. But despite the vicious attacks, Iraq and the United States moved hand in hand to overcome the countless obstacles and present the model of reform and democracy that is taking shape with every dispute Iraqis resolve in the parliament and every new brick they lay in a new building."

So says a recently declassified Aug. 2008 court ruling:

"The Aug. 22 appeals court decision upheld a secret ruling issued last year by the intelligence court that it oversees, known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance, or FISA, court. In that initial opinion, the secret court found that Congress had acted within its authority in August 2007 when it passed a hotly debated law known as the Protect America Act, which gave the executive branch broad power to eavesdrop on international communications."

That should make the loon toon moonbat's collective head explode.

"The court ruling grew out of a previously undisclosed challenge from a telecommunications provider, which questioned the constitutional authority of the executive branch in ordering it to capture and turn over international communications without court approval."

Although Sen. Obama voted against the original PAA, he voted for the revised version - which made the loon toon moonbat's collective head explode.

This law of the land - and vital tool for hunting down global terrorists - will now pass into the hands of the Obama administration.

But, JWF wryly states: Don't expect much reaction. What was "illegal" for Bush will be just peachy keen for The Messiah.

It's Not One World...

Senior Saudi cleric says girls can marry at age 10.

Isn't that, like, pedophilia??

No, no, claims the cleric: "...those who think she's too young are wrong and are being unfair to her."

I wonder how much pole polish the perv used on that proclamation?

But this is nothing new. It's common all over the Islamic world. The picture at right is from Afghanistan. Even Islam's beloved prophet Mohammed married his fave bride when she just six. Although he did wait till she was nine before he de-flowered her. Stay classy, Moe.

This is Islam, boy n girls.

I'm sure NOW, Mother Sheehan, Code Pinko and other stalwarts of the feminist hypocrisy faith will stage massive protests against this abuse of girls. Anyday now.

Someday.

Soon.

After the crickets stop chirping.

Are the same standards applied against pro-hamas & pro-hezbollah parents??

You remember the 5 year old kid from Jersey named 'Adolph Hitler'? His parents made the news when a local bakery refused to decorate a cake for his birthday (although WalMart obliged them).

Authorities Take Adolf Hitler Kid And Siblings Away From Parents.

Yes, the parents are low life, goose stepping piles of dog squeeze, but the New Jersey’s Division of Youth and Family Services admits there are no reports of abuse or neglect, so on what grounds did the 'authorities' act?.

And if heebie-jeebie abstracts are the rule, how does that apply to terrorist loving, Jew haters in L.A.??

News Busted for Jan. 13th

"It's the first time in eight years that someone besides George Bush has been blamed for anything."

Name That Party!

Racine mayor arrested on attempted sexual assault of a child and other charges.

"Becker was taken into custody at Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield on Tuesday afternoon. He was arrested for child enticement, possession of child pornography, exposing a child to harmful materials, attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child, use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime and misconduct in public office, according to the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation."

Nope. No word on party affiliation, but the Wisconsin State Journal newspaper is a statewide paper, and maybe it's assumed that all know this mayor's political affiliation.

Racine, Wis., mayor accused of attempted sexual assault of child, possessing child pornography.

That's from an AP story, and no party affiliation there, either. Lots of info on sleepy lil Racine, but not a word on the mayor's political affiliation.

NBC news in Green Bay won't say, either. Racine Mayor Arrested.

Perhaps if the guy was a republican it would have been proclaimed in the headline instead of buried on an obscure city web page.

Lt. Gen. Harry "Nuts" Kinnard II dead at 93

(pictured, right)

"Lt. Gen. Harry W.O. Kinnard II, who died Jan. 5 at his home in Arlington County, was a West Point graduate whose decades-long military career stretched from World War II to Vietnam, but he was most often associated with one word that became instant legend. The word was "nuts," the reply to a German surrender ultimatum during the crucial Battle of the Bulge."

Thank you, Sir. Rest in peace.

Decidedly Un-Female Person Sues HOOTERS to Become 'HOOTERS GIRL'

He wants to join the all-female, buxom wait staff at the nationwide chain restaurant known for that very feature. Hooters, which hires men as bartenders, hosts and kitchen staff, but not waitresses, said 'NO.'

So, the Corpus Christi, TX. man filed a lawsuit alledging discrimination. Of course.

The suit seeks

"an unspecified amount of money including for emotional and punitive damages. It also asks the court to grant an injunction to stop Hooters from "discriminating against male applicants for the waiters position."

HOOTERS of America has been down this road before when it settled a 1997 sexual discrimination lawsuit filed by a group of men for $3.75 million.

Gee. I think I'll sue Victoria's Secret to make men's underwear, and end their 'discrimination.'

Ala. NAACP's Panties In Wad Over 50 Maids In Hoop Skirts at Inaugural Parade

State NAACP President Edward Vaughn claims it will remind Black folks of slavery, or something.

"Vaughn suggested that the Trail Maids' costumes — hoop dresses with matching bonnets and parasols — reflect the state's slavery past and have no place at the inauguration of the first African-American president, Barack Obama.

This year's Trail Maids include eight black members, two maids of Indian descent, one Asian and 39 whites, said Andy Marasca, president of the group. Marasca said he learned of Vaughn's concerns from local media.

"I wish it wasn't an issue," Marasca said, referring to Vaughn's comments.

Mobile County commissioners, who at their Monday meeting will discuss contributing to the Trail Maids, said they were disappointed by Vaughn's criticism.

"The Trail Maids do not represent the Confederacy or antebellum times but reflect the beauty of Mobile and its 300-plus years of fascinating history," commissioners said in a statement.

The first Trail Maid court was formed in 1949, according to the group's Web site.

Marasca said that despite Vaughn's comments, the Trail Maids plan to march in the parade and continue to raise money for the trip."

Al Qaeda's operations chief in Pakistan killed in New Year's strike.

"The Jan. 1 attack in the town of Karikot in South Waziristan killed Osama al Kini and his senior aide Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan, intelligence officials told The Washington Post. Two other unnamed operatives were also killed in the airstrike.

Osama al Kini's is an alias for Fahid Mohammed Ally Msalam, a Kenyan national and a senior al Qaeda commander who was wanted for his role as a planner of the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. The twin bombings killed 224 civilians and wounded more than 5,000 others. The Rewards for Justice Web site posted a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture."

Missouri Sen. Kit Bond (R) won't seek 2010 re-election

I always thought Mr. Bond to be a better Governor than a senator for Missouri. As a senator, he was too fond of the federal pork trough. But I voted for him as 'the lesser of two evils'. (I hate it when that happens.)

"Bond told reporters that he decided not to run after discussing his future with his family over the Christmas holiday. Bond spokeswoman Shana Marchio said she had been "preparing for him to run. We were going full-throttle."

Jeff Roe, a longtime Republican political consultant, said Thursday's announcement caught everyone off guard and predicted there would be a lively race for the seat....

...Possible GOP candidates include Rep. Roy Blunt, who recently stepped down from his post as House Minority Whip; his son, outgoing Gov. Matt Blunt; and former Sen. Jim Talent, who narrowly lost his bid for re-election in 2006 to Democrat Claire McCaskill. Other possibilities are Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder and two other House members, Jo Ann Emerson and Sam Graves."

Maybe. Maybe. I think this is definitely the decade of 'the woman' - especially in politics - thanks to some high octane high heels from one Sarah Palin. I'm looking for outgoing Missouri State Treasurer Sarah Steelman to be an early front runner for Bond's vacated senate seat.

This is CNN.

"CNN editors who swallowed the story of the poorly-acted video unquestioningly—no doubt because it fit the anti-Israeli narrative familiar to CNN viewers and critics—have now pulled the video without explanation, correction, or retraction.

It has also been determined that the videographer who filmed his brother's "death" is the general manager of a company that hosts web sites for Hamas."

3 rockets fired at N. Israel from terrorists in Lebanon

Two injured in N. Israel. One can only assume the injured were Jewish and the damage collateral. The Associated (with terrorists) Press was short on any illustrious description.

"Israeli defense commentators said they expected the rocket fire to be a one-time show of solidarity with the Palestinians, not a declaration of war. Still, police said public bomb shelters throughout the north were opened."

Target was a nursing home?!

But the Associated (with terrorists) Press was near giddy to segue into 32 paragraphs about the Israeli assault on Gaza - using Hamas as a source. Of course.(click to enlarge)



Hamas is a brutal taskmaster, torturing and executing their own people. They routinely use civilians as human shields. Hamas terrorists hide in mosques, in hospitals and in schools to inflict their indiscriminate violence against Israelis.

There is a report that Hamas has set up a hospital for wounded terrorists which is siphoning medical supplies meant for wounded civilians.
The IDF said it will continue to allow relief supplies into Gaza. I doubt if these islamic murderers would grant the same courtesy to Israelis.

One death is too many, but those '700' dead claimed by Hamas that the A (with terrorists) Press is so quick to parrot? No one knows for sure. But does Hamas include those people they denied medical treatment, or executed, or placed in harm's way into that figure? Will the MSM even ask?

President "Cool Cal" Calvin Coolidge

Before Ronald Reagan, there was Calvin Coolidge. In my opinion, one of the greatest U.S. presidents of the 20th century. A brilliant man & shrewd politician of humble beginnings, he governed as a true conservative; he cut taxes, vetoed spending, and refused to treat the adults of this nation like children.

The modern GOP would do well emulate this man and his philosophy of governance. Besides, who do you think influenced Reagan?

Keeping Cool with Coolidge By Ryan L. Cole.

"Today, the faithful prepare to flock to the nation's capital to participate in what increasingly seems like a coronation. Simultaneously, train trips are being planned and an ancient bible is being brought out, rather immodestly, to remind us of the supposedly uncanny similarities between Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln. Before the president-elect takes the oath of office in front a crowd of millions, it is worth remembering Coolidge's own assumption of the presidency. When news of President Warren G. Harding's death reached Plymouth Notch, Vermont, Vice President Coolidge, out of necessity, was administered the oath of office by his father, at the family homestead, using a family bible by the flickering light of an oil lamp.

Coolidge took that oath and assumed the presidency without promises to heal the soul of the country, change the world, or make loaves and fish magically appear. Instead, when asked for his thoughts on assuming the presidency, Coolidge simply replied, "I think I can swing it."

And despite the opinions of New Deal historians, swing it he did. A year after Harding's death Coolidge was elected president in his own right by a landslide. He spent the next four years fulfilling his duty as he believed the founders had envisioned -- cutting taxes, resisting and vetoing new spending, and generally minding his own business while presiding over a time of great prosperity.

He had no interest in saving or rescuing the American people -- he possessed, what is today, an uncommon faith they could take care of that themselves."

Read it all.

Change. Hope. Blue tie.

5 Presidents. 2 red ties.

"Barack Obama seemed to fit in between the Bushes quite well."

And that's too bad. I wish that he were either hot or cold.

Hamas tortures & executes their own people

For 'collaboration' with the Israelis.

Gee. I wonder why the terrorist supporting media doesn't report on that?

"Several days ago, Hamas started to seek out and punish "collaborators" and political enemies in the Gaza Strip. Hamas arrested and maimed more than 100 opposing Fatah members and "collaborators." Six Palestinians accused of providing information on the location of Hamas leaders to Israeli intelligence were executed over the past two days.

Despite the Israeli offensive, Hamas was able to launch more than 40 rockets into southern Israel on Tuesday. The Israeli military said the presence of troops in northern Gaza has stopped Hamas from launching missiles at the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Beersheba."

Oh. And that U.N. school bombed by the IDF? Hamas used the school as a weapons depot and launch site for their rockets & mortars - proving, once again, that the islamists' not-so-good defense is hiding behind children.

"The high number of casualties in this particular incident suggests a similar patterns as in previous conflicts. Adoring Palestinians stood too close for too long after their terrorist heroes fired mortars at Israeli civilians. The Palestinians gathered around the launch site to watch munitions being fired against Israel simply didn’t anticipate the speed and accuracy of the Israeli response, and Israeli counter-battery fire detonating additional Hamas weaponry at the school only made the carnage worse."

Top American Islamic Cleric Threatens U.S. on Egyptian TV.

"America, which gave [Israel] everything it needed in these battles, will suffer economic stagnation, ruin, destruction, and crime, which will surpass what is happening in Gaza. One of these days, the U.S. will suffer more deaths than all those killed in this third Gaza holocaust. This will happen soon."

He also invoked a notorious Islamic hadith on the inevitable annihilation of the Jews by Muslims:

"The stone, which is thrown at the Jews, hates these Jews, these Zionists, because Allah foretold, via His Prophet Muhammad, that Judgment Day will not come before the Jew and the Muslim fight. The Jew will hide behind stones and trees, and the stone and the tree will speak, saying: “Oh Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” The only exception will be the Gharqad tree."

This harangue would be nothing new on television in the Islamic world; in fact, it is commonplace. What is unique about Sultan’s threats against America is that he holds U.S. permanent residency status and, according to one federal law enforcement official, travels regularly on a U.S. passport."

This is because the suffering of the refugees is essential to their broader political struggle."

Russian Natural Gas: The New Cold War

Still and again.

6 countries lose Russian natural gas.
Gazprom - the world's largest natural gas company and lifeblood of the Russian economy - claims there's no natural gas to be had. The European Union in Brussels says bvllsh1t!

"Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Romania, Croatia and Turkey all reported a halt in gas shipments from Russia through Ukraine. Croatia said it was temporarily reducing supplies to industrial customers and Bulgaria said it had enough gas for only "for a few days."

The European Union in Brussels called the sudden cutoff to some of its member countries "completely unacceptable."

In a strongly worded statement, the EU complained that that gas had been cut "without prior warning and in clear contradiction with the reassurances given by the highest Russian and Ukrainian authorities to the European Union."

This is not the first time Russia has played this potentially deadly game to freeze out supplies, but:

"This time many of Gazprom's customers say they are better prepared, having built up substantial reserves. Ukraine, one of the largest consumers of gas in the world, says it has enough gas reserves to last for weeks.

Ukraine is refusing to pay $600 million Gazprom claims it is owed. Russia is also demanding an increase in the price Ukraine pays for its gas. Last year Ukraine paid Gazprom $179.50 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas, less than half of the average price European countries are expected to pay this year."
