Apparently, Holder Has Other Things To Do »

Than look at ACORN. Yet, the hits just keep on coming. There is another tape out from James O’Keefe of filmmaker James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles going to ACORN offices in an expose of the lengths to which ACORN workers will go to assist in setting up an underage prostitution ring. Here [...]

Code Pink Sees Green in the Bloodshed at Fort Hood »

Let me just warn you now. If you are drinking or eating anything as you read this, you might want to stop. This article is disturbing on so many levels, but even more, it is infuriating at the way in which it paints Major Hasan, the alleged mass murderer. This is way [...]

Secretary Clinton On The Job - Updated »

(Bumped up from November 7th.)
The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video):

NY Yankees Win 27th World Championship, and the USS New York »

(Yong Kim/ MCT)
Due to the tragic events at Fort Hood yesterday, this post was delayed out of respect for those who were lost and wounded. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends, and all those serving at Fort Hood.
Bleary eyed, but sated with my celebratory Belgian pecan waffles, turkey link sausages, numerous [...]

Yep, It’s His Mess Now »

(Bumped up from Saturday.)
General McChrystal’s proposal for Afghanistan has been on Obama’s desk for almost two months now. And what is Obama doing about it? Well, he appears to be deciding on how to decide what his decision will be, but he’s not there yet. Nope, instead, he is throwing up some smokescreen [...]

September Storm »

“September Storm” by Jim Ticehurst

Are We Training Our Own Domestic Terrorists? »

Are extremists infiltrating our own military to the point of inadvertently training terrorists who will attack us in the future? It turns out that at least 40 persons who list their occupation as “military” are profiled on the Internet forum New Saxon, a Facebook-like site operated by the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement.
Is this a [...]

9-11 Conspiracy Nuts Persist [Updated] »

(bumped up from last night)
I am sure I am opening a can of worms here, but what the hell. The U.S. Government did not plan or execute the attacks on 9-11. Here’s the simple truth–the Bush Administration entered office dismissing terrorism as a significant threat and devoted most of its energies to promoting [...]

Soldiers And WORMS »

(bumped up from yesterday)
As some of you know, my mother suffered a stroke recently. I am currently in my home town spending time with her and getting her house in order. As a result, I rushed a recent post on “DADT” I wrote in order to get to the nursing center in a timely [...]

Cairo: The Emptiness of Obama’s Rhetoric »

When Peter Daou writes, I read. As many of you know, Peter Daou headed Hillary Clinton’s campaign Web site and her site’s blog operations. I always admired Peter’s attempts to post at Daily Kos (one of his countless tasks), where he was cruelly torn apart for supporting Hillary. But he kept on, hoping [...]

The Plot Thickens… »

As it turns out, the domestic terrorist, Abdulhakim Muhammad, who targeted Army soldiers outside of a recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas may not be acting independently after all. This is disturbing, to say the least. Here’s the latest on what has been discovered about him, some more details about Private Long, and [...]

Who Cares About This Killing? »

This was not the murder of a doctor, nor did it have anything to do with the issue of being pro/anti-choice. No, this time it was a young Army private, gunned down outside a military recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas, of all places. Another Army private was also shot, but is [...]

Bush Administration’s Dark Side: Torturing a Clerk »

Joseph Margulies in the Los Angeles Times offers anyone who wants to defend the Bush administration’s embrace of torture a chilling retort.
His bottom line: the administration sold out the values Americans cherish most to torture not a kingpin in the al Qaeda network, but a clerk.
Margulies writes:

How to Rob a State »

In today’s age of technology, when government and companies are getting better at guarding the electronic gates, sometimes the easiest way to score a big heist is to come right through the front door in a mailbag.
It seems someone stole $2 million from the WV State Auditor’s office using nothing more than letters sent through [...]

[Update] Taliban Encroachment in Pakistan Grows at Terrifying Pace: What Does the U.S. Do? »

Update: Read “Taliban Advance: Is Pakistan Nearing Collapse? at Time magazine. Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey notes, “this Daily Mail piece has had me on edge since morning. The Kardari government gave the Taliban an inch by signing away Swat so now they’ve decided to take a mile in Buner. The wages of appeasement. [...]

Who’s Running the White House? [Updates] »

(bumped up from Wednesday morning)
George Soros, maybe? The problem in appeasing these activist groups is that there are profoundly serious intelligence-gathering and counterterrorism implications, and extraordinarily time- and energy-consuming legal tasks and confusing agency expectations behind what Obama is suddenly proposing that could suck all the oxygen out of his presidency and the [...]

Janeane Garofalo’s Convenient Ethic$ »

You all read American Girl In Italy’s takedown of Janeane Garofalo in “‘this is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks’.” Now, via The Right Scoop, we have a mash-up of Ms. Garofalo’s wildly inconsistent — and might I add anti-democratic? — thoughts on the importance of dissent:

Ms. [...]

[Updated] Chávez Calls Obama an “Ignoramus” »

Susan’s Notes: Well!!! It’s happened, after all the conjecture the past few days speculating if the two men would meet. Today, they shook hands. From the April 18, 2009 Times UK, “President Obama in historic handshake with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela“:

All the conjecture and today’s meeting reminded me of Truthteller’s excellent piece on [...]
