There are any number of intense stories out and about today, unusual for a weekend that so much is coming to light. Unfortunately, many of them are not good. For instance, there’s the story about the 85 year old grandmother who claims she was strip searched by the TSA. Now, many of you know that [...]

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time. This love-hate relationship long precedes the September 11th attacks. The last [...]

You are never going to believe this. A woman in Saudi Arabia had the AUDACITY to get behind the wheel of a car. The nerve of her! Who does she think she is, wanting to drive herself. Good grief, what IS the world coming to, I ask you?! Ahem. I wish I could tell you [...]

Many of you know I am a big, huge soccer fan. My partner, who played soccer, and I have been to two Women’s World Cups, and numerous matches (both professional, and the US Women’s team). It was thrilling when we took our godson to Aruba this summer and the Netherlands made it into the finals. [...]

In the recent special on an “honor killing” in Texas, an activist, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, spoke out about the treatment of women in Islam. Hirsi Ali knows a lot about how women are treated having grown up in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Kenya. She has survived the genital mutilation that was (is) common in her [...]

* 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 just [...]

I don’t know the names of the two women in this video, so I don’t know their resumes, but if they are journalists they need to turn over their credentials right now. They have lost ALL credibility, and should never be taken seriously, or given a platform in the news, again. Ever. Red head: “I [...]

Think we’re done with this story?!?! Huh, PBO? Think again! Embedded video from CNN Video Writes Ed Morrissey for Hot Air, “The White House miscalculated on its “no-bow” response. CNN spends a couple of minutes calling them on it. … CNN compares the bow to Saudi King Abdullah and the correct protocol of a head [...]

Yes, I know, I keep writing about this, but the more I see and read about it, the more my panties get in a twist. Robert Gibbs was asked about the bow by a CNN reporter and Gibbs LIED. And the thing about it is he knew it was such a idiotic sounding lie, he [...]

I have heard and seen a lot of spin the past couple of years, but this has got to be the mother load of all spin. Can they actually be serious? *It wasn’t a bow, it was a double handshake for a short guy.* (I’m paraphrasing.) Did they not see the video? It wasn’t even [...]

And everybody is asking why? He didn’t bow to Queen Elizabeth. Presidents and other heads of state don’t bow to royalty. But Obama bowed so low, when he met King Abdullah, he seemed to almost fall over. (and no, he wasn’t picking something up off the floor.) Now everyone in the blogosphere is trying to [...]

Earlier in the week, one of my aunts sent me a piece by Victor Davis Hanson, The Impending Obama Meltdown (SusanUnPC also included this article in her excellent piece, “Is Barack Obama On The Precipice Of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“). I don’t want to be premature, but maybe, just maybe, there are some journalists coming up [...]

Here’s part of CNN’s AC360 coverage of — and commentary on — Obama’s interview with al-Arabiya last night (we have the full two-part interview below). Huffington Post has the full text. I find the panel’s comments about the probable reaction by Al Qaeda to be interesting, if just a tad over-the-moon adulatory, heh: From the [...]

VIDEO OF INTERVIEW in White House: Obama’s first interview as president (Al-Arabiya TV exclusive) Hisham Melhem (our bureau chief here in the DC office)conducted this exclusive interview with president Barack Obama. (I like what he says at the beginning of part 2, about the “bankrupt” ideas of Al Qaeda.) Jake Tapper has the lead print [...]

Dear lord. I hope you saw Reverend Amy’s story many hours ago in which she recalled the great speech that C.J. gave to the press corps on “West Wing”: ““Those Women” * OPEN THREAD.”
