What a sad, sad state of affairs:
Nadya Suleman, the woman who gave birth to octuplets last month, is receiving $490 a month in food stamps, and three of her first six children are disabled and receiving federal assistance, her publicist confirmed to The Times…
Suleman had told NBC News correspondent Ann Curry in an interview that [...]

Octomom’s mom has had enough:
The mother of the woman who used a fertility doctor to give birth to octuplets, despite already having six young children, called her daughter’s actions “unconscionable” in an interview posted online Sunday.
Angela Suleman is caring for the six older children while her daughter is hospitalized after giving birth Jan. 26 to [...]

The silence has been broken. Octomom Nadya Suleman is talking about her obsession with children, and it ain’t pretty. If you thought what Grandma had to say was bad, wait until you get a load of what comes out of baby machine Suleman’s mouth.

Grandma is just a font of disturbing information about her daughter Nadya and her obsession to breed.

I think it’s safe to say that many readers of this blog hold pro-choice views. What a woman decides to do with the contents of her uterus should be a private matter between her and her doctor. But one of the most important aspects of being pro-choice is the expectation that the woman [...]

I’ve been debating whether or not to post these thoughts for several weeks now. On the one hand I really don’t want the aggravation that is bound to ensue as a result of what I’m about to write, but on the other hand I have to address what I believe is [...]

The sheer gall of Joe Lieberman and the spinelessness of Senate Democrats know no bounds.
A recap. You remember Joe Lieberman. The man who “debated” Dick Cheney, a force of pure evil who has taken on human form – for the time being. The “debate”, if you remember, consisted of Lieberman [...]

I don’t know about all of you, but I could go for a change of subject right about now. Maybe you all can help me get to the bottom of something that’s had me perplexed for a few weeks now.
Topic: Somali pirates.

….as in MSM analysis, not David Brock’s shop.
I find Rupert Murdoch’s observations on the news business to be predicatable, amusing and ironic considering the source. Murdoch’s mega media outlets have distinguished themselves by appealing to the lowest common denominator; acting as groveling apologists for the egregious regime in Beijing; spreading the crudest, vilest rumors [...]

I still can’t get over the Saudi “interfaith”/”religious tolerance” travesty forced on the world by the United Nations. Now come this milquetoast kumbaya comment, courtesy of WaPo.com:
I am a Shia Muslim, and have heard my fair share of personal stories of Shias being persecuted in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the Saudi government [...]

Irony Meter Goes Off the Scale…*SNAP*! »

Every now and then something happens that involves such an elevated level of shamelessness that you’re left shaking your head in wonder and questioning your own sanity. Over the past 8 years many of these moments have involved George W. Bush in some way, with Dick Cheney and other Bush administration minions popping up [...]

Bill Ayers Redux »

Now from the New Yorker comes the following little interview with William Ayers:
One night, Ayers recalled, he and Dohrn were watching Bill O’Reilly, who was going on about “discovering” Ayers’s 1974 manifesto, “Prairie Fire.” “I had to laugh,” Ayers said. “No one read it when it was first issued!” He said that he laughed, too, [...]

There are certain cans of worms I’d prefer not to open. I’m a mere hobbyist blogger and really don’t need a lot of added aggravation in my life. Having said that, I’m not going to editorialize at all. I’m going to post a story that was brought to my attention by the [...]

Let’s face it: John McCain had a hard row to hoe. Conservatives never really warmed up to him. At times he appeared to be phoning it in. His staff’s “strategy”, particularly with regards to advertising and message shaping, was pathetic. The press was overwhelmingly biased in favor of his opponent. [...]

Now that this seemingly endless election has finally drawn to a close, it’s time to take some inventory. And I have a few things on my mind.
