This post carries an offer for the religious conservatives. Those who consider themselves good Christians, the ones who talk incessantly about family values and the importance of virginity. The ones who go to Church every Sunday and incorporate Jesus into every nonsensical thought that comes out of their mouths. The wholesome, flag-waving American-born Christians.
For all [...]

Who would have guessed there would be a connection between the current Health Care debate, and what’s missing from it, and al Qaeda? Not me, until I read this article recently, Let America Have The Smallpox and Anthrax Vaccines. Why is this important? Aren’t we done with that whole smallpox thing? [...]

After seeing this article the other day, Bush’s Search Policy For Travelers Is Kept; Obama Officials Say Oversight Will Grow, I felt compelled to share some helpful suggestions when you are traveling into the USA: carry some change to make phone calls, bring some paper and a pen to be able to write a letters/documents, [...]

When I saw this at The Onion, I thought this was mighty plausible. Make sure you read the crawl at the bottom – even as a die-hard Yankees fan, I thought the first one was funny:
White House Reveals Obama Is Bipolar, Has Entered Depressive Phase
See?? Doesn’t that make everything make more sense? [...]

It’s time to slap an official seal on our Vice President’s yapper. This otherwise likeable guy is also a one-man blooper extravaganza.
Now he’s done it again. But this time it isn’t as laughoffable as asking a man in the wheelchair to stand up and take a bow. Or as whacky as telling [...]

SecDef Robert Gates spoke unusually at Singapore this news cycle when he declared that the Kim regime was not acceptable as a nuclear power.

Jane Harman hits back with a sweeping, supple victim’s style in a star-turn appearance with Andrea Mitchell re the surprise smear of the California potentate as a Zionist tool.
Shrewdly, Jane Harman’s counter strike on TV is not about the dull facts of the Bush administration case against AIPAC ops, which is likely to be dropped [...]

(Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for Part II later this evening.)
CQ Politics:
"Rep. Jane Harman, the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs [...]

(bumped up from afternoon)
For today’s A.P. story, “Obama draws praise, but piracy escalation feared,” Larry Johnson was telephoned and interviewed extensively by London-based A.P. reporter Gregory Katz:
[...]
Some military strategists believe it may ultimately be necessary to attack the pirates’ base in Somalia, much as the British used to do two centuries ago. But few have [...]

(Susan’s April 13th Note: I AM PISSED OFF. This essay is bumped up because, dammit, I need to restore my FOCUS on the ELEPHANTS in the room! While it’s fascinating to debate the pirate crisis, it is foremost VITAL to focus on the dangerous stories such as Obama’s power-hungry expansion of executive authority, known in [...]

You’ve read Philip Giraldi’s and my piece, “Goodbye, Bill of Rights,” with a very unhappy Keith Olbermann interviewing a shocked Howard Fineman. Now, constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley puts it even more bluntly:

Honestly, I’m getting tired of saying, “We told you so.” There are people who can be so easily deluded by a [...]

Uh oh. Someone let go of the leash. God bless you if you can make it through all 23 minutes of Wolf Blitzer’s and Gloria Borger’s interview of Vice President Joe Biden on CNN. I couldn’t stomach it. But the take-away sound bite left my jaw on the floor. You NEVER [...]

Thousands of protestors (Press TV) are filling the streets across Turkey to protest President Obama’s visit to the NATO ally. Irag is a primary reason — as you’ll see in the video below — as is NATO:
[T]he streets were littered with anti-NATO and anti-Obama fliers. “Leave NATO — get rid of the gladiators,” [...]

Someone’s lack of qualifications and substantive experience is showing — SEE Ambassador Joseph Wilson in Update #2 — and someone is depicting us United States citizens as beggars grateful for insultingly thin gruel while someone (that’d be President Barack Obama [PBO]) is being “played” by leaders of fellow NATO nations who know they can [...]

You emote. You rant. You scream. You inhale. You reflect? No … you rant.
And now, CLASS: Please compare, and contrast, these two examples of television journalism:
