Some of you may recall that a little over a year ago, a woman in Buffalo, NY, Aasiya Zubair Hassan, was beheaded – yes, I said beheaded – allegedly by her husband, a Muslim with influence in his community, having created a tv network to improve the image of Muslims. He was charged [...]

One more state has joined the growing list of states that will not permit same sex marriage: New York. Yes, New York which has the largest population of LGB people in the country in NY City. This headline says it all: New York State Senate Votes Down Gay Marriage Bill.
I admit, this one [...]

(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):

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 [...]

You are not going to believe this video below. I don’t care what your political persuasion is, this should ring alarm bills, raise red flags, and generally cause major concern.
If this isn’t indoctrination, I don’t know what is:

You may have heard that this weekend, the White House strongly suggested that David Paterson, the current governor of New York, really shouldn’t consider a run in 2010. You know, the way only Chicago politicians can: leak out a strong encouragement, deny that they did any such thing, and make it seem like they [...]

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

I got an email recently from an organization that has impressed me, VoteVets.org. As their name implies, they work hard on behalf of our veterans. They work not just on behalf of our veterans, but all those currently serving in the military. The email was on the issue of “Don’t Ask, Don’t [...]

Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, found this article, which she kindly shared with me. It is quite an interesting take on why some women are so threatened by, um, no, wait, that’s not how the author, Ann Marlowe, would phrase it. More for her, why they don’t like her, as the [...]

Welcome Senator Gillibrand. You are not in your sleepy upstate county anymore. Welcome to the big show. Welcome to the shark tank. I hope you have some good repellant, you may need it if some of the stories in the press mean anything.
Going through my paper this morning there was a podium picture of [...]

I’m not sure what part of Do. Not. Want. people in the NY Times and the Governor’s mansion do not understand. New Yorkers do not like this Kennedy trick one bit.
Here’s the message:
New York State voters have cooled on Caroline Kennedy and more voters [...]

And other news on the ever-changing Barack Obama.
Perhaps you have now heard that a 1996 questionnaire for Barack Obama has mysteriously reappeared AFTER he was elected (which of course he could not have done without the DNC’s new take on voting, i.e., it doesn’t really matter for whom you cast your vote – they will [...]

With the possibility that Paterson will pick Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg after all. Sigh. Between the crapola with Burris and Kennedy, I scarcely recognize our form of government any more. But it is not yet a done deal on Kennedy Schlossberg, so this isn’t about that specifically.
Rather, I want to share [...]
