“Happy Hajj,” Everybody! »

* Bumped Up * Let the White House Proclaim: Happy Hugo Chavez Day! Happy Ramadan! Happy 100th Anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire! Happy Eid-ul-Fitr Happy Earth Day! Happy Eid-ul-Adha! Happy Nowruz! If you are waiting for a Happy Easter Proclamation, though, you’ll have to wait until at least next year, since Obama didn’t [...]

Is The MSM Hiding Attacks On Women Journalists? »

* Bumped Up * Again? So it would seem. This time, it is in Palestine by Hamas Security officers. But I bet you haven’t heard a word about it, have you? Had it not been for Phyllis Chesler, I wouldn’t have known, either. In Chesler’s excellent post, “Arab Spring: Male-on-Female Atrocities In Gaza Disappeared By [...]

Killing Over One Torched Koran? **UPDATEDX2** »

* Bumped Up * Update below the fold. I could barely believe my eyes when I saw this headline, “Afghans Angry Over Florida Koran Burning Kill UN Staff.” This is not a joke. If it were, it would be a sick one, but the reality is much, much worse. Indeed, a mob of over 20,000 [...]

Guess Who’s Been Wanting To Overthrow Gadhafi For Years? »

* Bumped Up * Did you guess the Muslim Brotherhood? If so, you would have been right. Yes, CNN had this report, Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya Eyes A Prize. Oh, great. Well that’s just jake. And this is no joke. It is far, far from funny. It has been a plan long in the [...]

Fears About Early Voting In Egypt Confirmed »

After forcing out Mubarak as leader of Egypt, Egyptians held a vote on Sunday on a number of different amendments and changes. One of the issues on which the people voted was whether or not to have speedy elections. The people have spoken, and the answer is: yes. Yes, they do want speedy elections. Here’s [...]

Shining A Bright Light On TSA’s Assault On Our Rights »

Sharon Cissna is an Alaskan State Representative(D), and one of my new heroes. Now why, you may ask, is she a hero? Because Rep. Cissna refuses to submit to a TSA pat-down. As a survivor of breast cancer, with a false breast as a result of a mastectomy, she has refused to submit to another [...]

The Shocking Story Of One CBS Reporter In Egypt »

Word has recently come out that Lara Logan, a longtime CBS foreign correspondent, suffered a brutal, horrible assault and sexual assault at the hands of a gang of Egyptian men celebrating the downfall of Mubarak. According to this CBS report (H/T to Carol Maka), Ms. Logan was covering the celebration for “60 Minutes.” And that’s [...]

Well, That Is Putting It Mildly About the Brotherhood, Obama »

I will admit right upfront that I did (could) not watch the Bill O’Reilly pre-Super Bowl interview with President Obama. I am not a big fan of either one of them (now I know THAT comes as a shocker, especially about Obama). I mean, come on already, the Puppy (and Kitten) Bowl was on Animal [...]

Kirsten Powers: “Americans’ Naivete About Egypt” »

In case you are not familiar with Kirsten Powers, she has an impressive resume, as stated at The Daily Beast: Kirsten Powers is a columnist for The Daily Beast. She is also a political analyst on Fox News and a writer for the New York Post. She served in the Clinton Administration from 1993-1998 and [...]

This Is What Sharia Law Looks Like »

I admit – I am procrastinating writing this story because it makes me want to throw up. It is disturbing to say the least, and I must thank SeriouslySickofObama, a faithful No Quarter reader, for making sure I saw it. It is not for the faint of heart. And no, I am not referring to [...]

Questions About Obama and The Muslim Brotherhood Lead To More Questions **UPDATED** »

UPDATE: Protesters called for huge numbers today for Friday prayers in an effort to oust Mubarrak. Once again, the numbers are below 250,000 (“tens of thousands”), just as they were for the “Million Man March” the other day. The Cairo Metropolitan area has over 22 MILLION people, and Egypt 85 MILLION people. Again, I have [...]

“Why Does He Pop Up On Television After The President Of Egypt Speaks?” »

So queried Charles Krauthammer after Obama’s short appearance last night following his half hour phone call with President Mubarak. I had the same question. Why? I’ll get to more of Obama’s speech, and the response of Krauthammer to it, but I have another question first. Perhaps someone can answer this for me. Here’s the thing. [...]

The Sorry State of Pakistan »

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard.  Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

Qatar? Are You Kidding Me? »

Many of you know I am a big, huge soccer fan. My partner, who played soccer, and I have been to two Women’s World Cups, and numerous matches (both professional, and the US Women’s team). It was thrilling when we took our godson to Aruba this summer and the Netherlands made it into the finals. [...]
