I know I have been writing a lot about the Department of Justice, but they keep pulling stupid shit, so what choice do I have? Ahem. From the incredibly stupid “Fast and Furious” which has cost a number of lives to the recent revelation of the DOJ pulling its terror manual because it mentions Islam, [...]

Yes, hard as it is to believe, the Obama Campaign’s snitch site is still up and running. I know, I know, it is just one more ridiculous thing this Administration has done. Oops – there I go again. I wonder how many times someone can actually be reported to “Attack Watch”? Anyway, my aunt sent [...]

Well, well, well. All kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Hillary Clinton oughta give Obama a run for him money. From the recent Chicago Tribune Editorial by Steve Chapman in which he exhorts Obama to step down, and Clinton to step up, to Dick Cheney, who not only suggested she would [...]

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time. This love-hate relationship long precedes the September 11th attacks. The last [...]

* As Stephen Colbert might say. Mr. Transparency has added yet another position to the White House. That would be the Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. The point of this position? Well, it would seem to smack down any negative story that might arise about Obama. We can’t have THAT, after all. I [...]

It was embarrassing enough for the people of Pakistan to find out that Osama bin Laden was living in their midst for years. Even more shameful was the realization that their politicians are incapable of questioning the security apparatus of the country. The masses rallied and protested and faced hardships for months to kick General [...]

* 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 [...]

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

Today, Friday, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was transported this morning to a rehab facility, TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital, in Houston. This follows her standing on her own, going outside (on the roof of the hospital) for some fresh air, stroking her husband’s face, and generally making remarkable, truly remarkable, progress. What a blessing. This is [...]

In the ensuing days after the Tucson shooting, the Federal Government has sent a slew of people there to work with the locals in trying to figure out just what the heck was going on with Jared Loughner, as this Washington Post article highlights: A team of 250 federal investigators and 130 local detectives trying [...]

NOTE: The Trolls are getting just what they want, too, when we respond to them. No matter how we try and reason with them, or provide facts to their lies and rumors, they will continue to incite, agitate, hurl insults, provide false information, and name-call, all in the name of hijacking these threads. With Obama [...]

* Bumped Up * There is no need to rehash the numerous assaults on Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, or those lumped together and labeled “Conservatives” (presumably, anyone who does not have a LD – Lefty Democrat – after their name), in the wake of the Tucson shooting. From the very first press conference with [...]

Back stabbing, Race baiting, representative, Jim Clyburn, is jumping on the Democratic-fueled baseless claim that political rhetoric was to blame in the recent tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona. Bear in mind, there is ZERO evidence to support the instantaneous claim that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party were to blame for this attack against the [...]

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? [...]

* Bumped up * An old friend of mine sent me an article recently from NPR, “Teacher Suspended After Stopping Anti-Gay Talk.” My friend was a high school teacher for many years (and now teaches on the community college level), so naturally, this would pique her interest. Mine, too. But the headline is a bit [...]
