Weekend Freakshow, Berkeley Style
ZombieTime has a slew of pictures from the anti-Marines protest in Berkeley that took place several days ago. Plug your nose and click here. Fortunately, the palate is cleansed with the sorbet of a few counter-protesters amid what appears to be a pink unemployment line operating a floating meth lab while waiting for the next check from the folks [...]
Denial Ain’t Just a River
Hillary's campaign has put out what appears to have been intended to be an internal memo about strategy following next Tuesday's primaries in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont. The memo essentially paints Obama's non-blowouts as proof that he's lagging. Huh? Yeah, I thought that to. Here's the memo. Hillary's people are [...]
Study examines how men and women view marital and parental time pressures
Any chance the feminsits will read this and understand that men and women want and love each other and that the feminsts are the abnormal ones who believe everyone is abnormal like them too? Not likely... Normal is not what the majority does. Its not truly defined that way, except by ideologues and normalizers, and anti-absoluters. All one has [...]
Bravo Sierra of the Day: McCain and Global Warming
I was reading a piece at the Huffington Post ("It is wise to study the ways of ones adversary") called "Bill Buckley's conservatism." Much of the column I agreed with, but toward the end I ran across this fallacious gem: For now, it's enough to note that Buckley deserves laurels not simply for his elegant flair and tolerant [...]
A Harry Situation: British vs. American Media
Prince Harry (aka "the bullet magnet") had been serving in Afghanistan for ten weeks until the word leaked out, and now that the news is public he may have to head for home. His deployment there was subject to a news blackout deal struck to preserve his safety, but it broke down after foreign media leaked the story. The deal included [...]

Between 2001 and July 2007, approximately 931,000 US Army and Marine Corps service members deployed for overseas military operations, including about [...]

More on Obama and Tony Rezko
For those not well versed in sleazy Chicago politics (and I unfortunately am having lived in Illinois for 12 years) Rick Moran at Pajamas Media has an excellent primer explaining Barack Hussein Obama's relationship with Tony Rezko, and why it's such a big deal. Are you confused by the head spinning machinations of Barack Obama that allowed him [...]
A Snowball’s Chance
Campaigning in Ohio, Hillary Clinton was proudly introduced by one of her major endorsers:
Bush and Geldof: Diary From the Road
My views on how we currently supply financial aid to Africa, which most often does nothing but create wealthier tyrants, are well documented in columns here, here and here. But I have to admit that Bob Geldof's article in Time is a good read in that it actually points out some fatal flaws that allows our mistakes to happen over and over again [...]
