* Bumped up *
Remember back in April when Obama traveled to the G-20 and bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia? If not, here it is:
Actually, that doesn’t look as much like a bow as it does a genuflect. Not, true, says Obama’s Spokes Weasel, Robert Gibbs. Oh, no - it is [...]

This week. We have a tsunami in American Samoa and Samoa, with a typhoon hitting the Philippines. Add to that an earthquake, a MAJOR earthquake, in Indonesia. Sadly, many lives have been lost as a result of these natural occurrences.
Here is a good recap of what has happened during the past week [...]

You’ve been reading Pat’s posts and you’ve seen the advertisement for his new Civil War book, along with that great video of his superb testimony on behalf of Valerie Plame Wilson and the egregious conduct of the Bush operatives in exposing her and her undercover work. Here’s a favorite Pat Lang story, told by [...]

“Clinton Takes a Dig at Cheney“:
BELOW, MORE HILLARY on Obama’s friendliness towards Hugo Chavez, the case of former FBI agent Robert Levinson, Turkey and Armenia, and Indonesia and the U.S. — even our policy on “hurricane hunters”!

The failure of the London G20 to reach agreement about protectionism, tariffs, retaliation and the clear cliff-diving of world trade may or may not be related to the civil unrest in Bangkok and throughout Thailand.

BELOW THE FOLD: Hillary on Burma and Hillary’s view of how U.S. policy is adversely affecting the desperate Burmese people … and Zakaria on economic sanctions.
This is an especially IMPORTANT video, as will be more we’ll post for you from Fareed Zakaria’s Sunday CNN program, a riveting hour. Really! (I stopped working on the blog, [...]

Hillary is a SMASHING HIT in Indonesia, as you will see in the videos below. One of the highlights of her visit was her appearance on the most popular television show in Indonesia (there are some great quotes below the fold!) where she bravely tried to pronounce the complex language, sing a little, and [...]

It is often difficult, if not near impossible, for an individual, company, institution, or even a government to provide a measured, honest, and unbiased perspective of a difficult situation. Given one’s proximity and emotional attachment to the situation, human nature clouds one’s viewpoint and, in turn, one’s reactions and responses.
How great it is when we [...]

Well, GM is back in our pockets, wanting more money. Bill Hemmer interviewed Rep. Thadeus McCotter about the Stimulus Package, as well as what GM is going to do differently. One point he made was this: GM offered 10,000 - that is TEN THOUSAND - options on cars to the car buyer. [...]

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:

Major H/T/ to McKatmoon, an alert reader at No Quarter, for this tip. This is disturbing. Here’s the story: John McCain filed a lawsuit in VA at this late date for a reason you are not going to believe. It turns out that the absentee ballots required by military personnel serving abroad [...]

Cross-Posted from The Real Barack Obama.
Sung to the tune of “The Way We Were”.

If the MSM had any difficulty, or even cared about, finding unrepentant domestic terrorist and Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers, or his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, during a week this past September, it was perhaps because they didn’t know where to look — [...]

Obama’s willingness to flip-flop has earned him the moniker Backtrack Obama. He betrayed progressives by voting for the FISA legislation; he promised to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives; he equivocated on choice by saying that “mental distress” should not be a factor in abortion.
Obama’s newest flip flop was not over a matter of public policy [...]

I was thinking yesterday about how I was a stupid angsty kid during the McGovern race. I remember being in love with George, no kidding. He was the cat’s ass to me. George was the next best thing to a 5-hosed hookah. I remember looking at Richard Nixon and thinking, yeesh what a miserable old [...]

Hugh Thompson, Lawrence Colburn and Glenn Andreotta. Remember their names? Of the three soldiers, one lives today - Lawrence Colburn. They exemplify the very best of moral courage, duty and honor. And during a time of war. I’ve tried writing about them before, but I felt woefully unable to honor them appropriately.
