Oh, how I wish I was making this up. But I am not. Yes, the DOJ cannot be bothered to prosecute what one DOJ long-term attorney, J. Christian Adams, claimed to be the “easiest case” he had ever had. He was referring to the voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia. Those [...]

The old Ben Franklin adage, is apparently one with which our government is unfamiliar. Just within the past few days, three major wasteful decisions have come to light. The first is in the State Department. This wasn’t just a wasteful decision, but an unethical, immoral, and I have to hope, illegal one. Within the State [...]

The hammering outside (stucco guys putting up mesh) is matched only by the hammering in my head after reading the following article: “Investigation Into APS Cheating Finds Unethical Behavior Across Every Level“. This is disturbing on a number of levels, including that the superintendent under whose direction this rampant, long term cheating occurred, no, was [...]

This has been an evolving issue, the ATF’s Operation Fast and Furious. In case you are unfamiliar with this program, here are the basics to this program: A U.S. law enforcement operation intended to crack down on major weapons traffickers on the Southwest border spiraled out of control as federal agents were told by superiors [...]

How much have you heard about the death threats revealed in Sarah Palin’s emails since their release? Probably not much, I would wager. That was the point Jim Treacher of the Daily Caller made on Thursday, too: [snip] AGAINST her, that is. Yep, it turns out there was some news hidden in those thousands of [...]

That is a sign hanging up in our favorite beach restaurant. And it seems particular appropriate to a bit of an update to my previous post, “Chris Matthews’ Trip To Crazy Town.” To paraphrase my friend, CindyIndie, Matthews has purchased property, and taken up residence in Crazy Town. You will not believe what he has [...]

On Monday, June 6th, while Congressman Weiner finally admitted he is a big fat lying pervert with no morals or sense of decency, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Title IX. To celebrate Women in Sports, especially with the Women’s World Cup (soccer) coming up this summer, Secretary Clinton delivered [...]

Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

* Bumped Up From April 29th * (so that we may discuss Logan’s interview on “60 Minutes” tonight) Lara Logan, the CBS “60 Minutes” reporter who was brutally assaulted in Egypt back in February, has given an interview to one of her “60 Minutes” colleagues, to be aired on May 1, 2011.

Before we saw this headline: “Airport passenger Screener Charged In Distributing Child Pornography.” Unfortunately, that is. And what a story this is: A passenger screener at Philadelphia International Airport is facing charges that he distributed more than 100 images of child pornography via Facebook, records show. Federal agents also allege that Transportation Safety Administration Officer [...]

* 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 [...]

Today is the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., gunned down at a hotel in Memphis, by James Earl Ray, in 1968. Robert Kennedy announced this tragedy in one of the most eloquent, moving statements I have ever heard from anyone, politician or poet, minister or teacher. Here is his announcement of [...]

More and more information is coming out about the treatment women reporters in Egypt have been enduring for some time now. The horrendous attack on Lara Logan seems to have opened the floodgates for other women journalists to acknowledge with what they have been dealing for years now. That many of them felt they had [...]

According to this CBS report (H/T to Carol Maka), Ms. Logan was covering the celebration for “60 Minutes.” And that’s [...]
