A memo from the Chairman

Dear Conservative scumbags…errr… I mean “friends”,

Hello there! I’m sure you are all well aware that your beloved Senator, Senator Larry Craig, happens to be someone who may frequent a men’s room stall for the usual progressive on-the-go slap and tickle. I mean, we do have our media talking about it continuously and I’m sure you [...]

Huck wins Machinist endorsement

According to a recent survey of Machinists Union [...]

Invested in Defeat

Interesting poll from Zogby International…
In the Spring of this year, Harry Reid went before the cameras and informed the world that the surge was a complete failure. He joined Speaker Nancy Pelosi and composed a letter stating in no uncertain way that the war was a lost cause. As odd and unpatriotic as [...]

Katrina Open Thread

Two years ago. Dang. This is the beach at Bay St. Louis, as the storm surge arrives…..

Yesterday, from Howard Wolfson, HRC spokesman: “Norman Hsu is a longtime and generous supporter of the Democratic Party and its candidates, including Sen. Clinton.” … “During Mr. Hsu’s many years of active participation in the political process, there has been no question about his integrity or his commitment to playing by the rules, and [...]

Mookie calls for hudna

BAGHDAD — Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has ordered a six-month suspension of activities by his Mahdi Army militia in order to reorganize the force, and it will no longer attack U.S. and coalition troops, aides said Wednesday.
The aide, Sheik Hazim al-Araji, said on Iraqi state television that the goal was to “rehabilitate” the [...]

UBL’s spider hole

I saw this over at FR…not sure what to make of it.
From the MEMRI Website:
According to Pakistani diplomatic sources, U.S. intelligence has revealed that Osama bin Laden is hiding in the “White Cave” in the Tora Bora mountains, and is currently carrying out military operations there aimed at leading to his capture.

Castro hearts Hillary/Obama

Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is tipping Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to team up and win the U.S. presidential election.
Clinton leads Obama in the race to be the Democratic nominee for the November 2008 election, and Castro said they would make a winning combination.

I swan, you just can’t parody these weasels.

“Red lights all over this one”

Drivers Ed 101: Red means stop, Green means go. Yellow means caution. Basic stuff. Everybody knows.
The problems arise when some joker decides that those basic rules apply to everyone but him/herself.
Such is the case with the 2008 presumptive Democrat nominee, and it’s certainly not a new story: just the supporting [...]

Bomp. Bomp. Bomp.

The latest talking point from the Surge Deniers has been along the lines of…….
“But, but, but, there has been no political progress from the Iraqi government.”
Heh™. Another one bites the dust…
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, 2007 – President Bush today praised Iraqi leaders for an agreement that will allow former low-level Baath Party officials to [...]

How to be an outstanding Democrat

Coz sends this How-to guide for becoming an effective member of the reality-based community:

22 Ways (to be an outstanding democrat)
1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding [...]

Two steps forward, one step back

Even as the surge continues to produce impressive results in Bagdhad, Diyala, and Anbar, the withdrawal of British forces in Basra is not producing similar results.
No big surprise, there. But, anyone who thinks the Pelosi-Reid Surrender plan will produce positive results should understand that in the absence of coalition power, others will fill the [...]

Gonzo has resigned

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned, ending a monthslong standoff with critics over the botched handling of FBI terror investigations and the firings of U.S. attorneys, officials said Monday.
The likely temporary replacement for Gonzales is Solicitor General Paul Clement, who would take over until a permanent replacement is found, according to a senior administration official [...]

Truthboating Hillary: The Playbook

Hot on the heels of the Jill Zuckman’s “Hillary Haters”, comes the Truthboating Playbook by DougFromUpland.
“We need to change enough people’s minds with the facts, not Hillary hating,” said Doug at the popular conservative forum, Free Republic.
While Zuckman and other MSM Cheerleaders will try to marginalize the opposition as “pathological haters,” the truth [...]

Hillary Clinton achievements

Recently touting “… my 35 years of fighting for what I believe in…” HRC has drawn attention to an area of her life that has received no attention from her MSM cheerleaders, and begs the question, “What has HRC accomplished in those 35 years?”
So, I googled Hillary Clinton accomplishments. Newsmax had this list:
Hillary has [...]

Flicking the Vick

I congratulate NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision to suspend disgraced Falcons’ quarterback Michael Vick indefinitely without pay, while at the same time opening the door for the Falcons to get back some of the bonus money they have squandered on this thug.
Until today, the message seemed to be if you were rich enough, arrogant enough, [...]

Naturalized citizen-soldiers

I’m tired of hearing about people sneaking into this country to do “jobs Americans won’t do.” The folks in this video earned their citizenship because they want to be Americans. They have earned my respect as well.
Thank you for your service. Welcome to America.

The Clinton tradition

Lying under oath brought impeachment and disgrace to the Clinton White House. You would think the Clintons would have learned.
You would be wrong.
A polygraph taken by Peter Paul directly contradicts the April 2006 sworn affadavit presented to the Los Angeles Superior Court by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
DougfromUpland has the details.

Viet Nam And Clarity Of Purpose!

Of all the contentious debates in American history, the American involvement in the Viet Nam conflict, is near or at the top.
So who do you prefer to believe in this matter? Are their historians, politicians, military leaders, or servicemen and women, who’s judgement you trust best?
I have my own unique experiences from that period [...]

Finally! Thailand Takes Battle To Islamic Schools.

File this one under, “It’s about time!”
There have only been 2,500 lives lost to violent muslims, in the deep south of Thailand, and now, the Thai military has developed a working hypothesis.
