The French? Well, they might, but no, that’s not who I mean. The British? Well, most likely, especially they way Obama has dissed them (like sending back the bust of Churchill, and that is the mere tip of the iceberg)? Nope. The Arab World. Yep, that’s right, even after Obama’s bowing and scraping to them, [...]

I just saw this headline, and had to grab this article: “MI6 attacks al-Qaeda in ‘Operation Cupcake‘; British intelligence has hacked into an al-Qaeda online magazine and replaced bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes.” Oh, my – that is freaking HILARIOUS! Here is part of the article: The cyber-warfare operation was launched by MI6 [...]

* Bumped Up * Instead of paying for a “Teleprompter Coach” for the White House might be an actual, honest-to-goodness protocol officer. Someone who knows protocol or can at least familiarize themselves, and thus the president, before a State function in another country. Seriously. What is wrong with Obama? You may have seen his faux [...]

That is the headline of this entertaining, and accurate, assessment of Obama’s Ireland visit by James Delingpole, “O’Bama? Ph, Puh-lease!“. Many of us saw his visit there as overblown, but only someone in the UK could pull this off: Ah Bejaysus and Begorrah! Oi’ll be swearin’ boi the auld shrine to the Vorgin with the [...]

* As Stephen Colbert might say. Mr. Transparency has added yet another position to the White House. That would be the Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. The point of this position? Well, it would seem to smack down any negative story that might arise about Obama. We can’t have THAT, after all. I [...]

There have been a few items in the News recently that really do sound like they are straight from The Onion, but are, in fact, true. Chalk it up to the “truth is stranger than fiction” meme. Hopefully, this will provide a bit of a respite from our undeclared war on Libya, which cost us [...]

As a three year+ resident of Moscow (late 2005-early 2009) I could regale you with stories of endemic corruption, political murder, police state tactics, and rampant inefficiencies and disconnects of logic and common sense that are guaranteed to drive the average business person from the West completely round the bend. Not so with Moscow Metro. [...]

After the recent mistreatment of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit to the White House, and his being totally dissed by President Obama, this article caught my eye, It’s Over: MPs Say The Special Relationship With US Is Dead. Let’s see – how long have we had a relationship with the U.K.? Um, how about forever? Admittedly, [...]

Oh, what a turn of events, and so quickly, too. Remember when Hugo Chavez called Bush “the devil” at another UN meeting? Many of us thought that was hilarious. Here’s the clip as a reminder: Yes, yes, that was mighty funny. Finally, someone was saying what so many of us lefties thought.

^ ^ ^ bumped up ^ ^ ^ So the other night, Obama had his big Afghanistan speech. Finally, after months of waiting for a decision regarding the request by General McChrystal, Obama laid out his plan, pretty much what had been telegraphed to us before the speech (yet, he still had to get in [...]

Christian Science Monitor’s article today, The Potential In Hillary Clinton’s Global Campaign For Women tells us “no other Secretary of State has so focused on women’s rights. It’s a powerful shift.” The editorial board of CSM states: When Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Africa last month, she visited war-racked eastern Congo to speak out against [...]

Let me say right up front that I have absolutely nothing against Islam or Muslims in general. I certainly do not agree with the more conservative Muslim views on women, though. Not only does this article focus on conservative Muslims, Swimmers Are Told To Wear Burkinis, but the impact they have on non-Muslim women especially, [...]

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 March [...]

Yes, this is not new. It used to be Tony Blair and George Bush and now it is, Gordon Brown and Barack Obama. The perfect pair of a lapdog and its master. Here are some fun excerpts and pictures that prove my point, all from an article in the Daily Mail: Oh Gordon, your smile! [...]

This is a lovely exchange here, with everyone looking quite lovely as well. Although I wonder what is in the Queen’s purse. And do see what the UK media are tittering about, below the fold. Embedded video from CNN Video It’s always ABC’s Jake Tapper who gets the essential details (h/t B). Besides a great [...]
