What are the Iranians up to now?

For those who follow the murkier currents of international affairs, there’s something very strange going on off Somalia at the moment. The Long War Journal has the details – and kudos to them for some very savvy investigating and reporting. A tense standoff is underway in northeastern Somalia between pirates, Somali authorities, and Iran over… Continue reading What are the Iranians up to now?

Antidotes to Palin-phobia

Following my article yesterday about Palin-phobia, I’m very pleased to report that three articles have been brought to my attention today by e-mail correspondents, all of which present a much healthier picture. All three are highly recommended reading. Phyllis Schlafly, writing in the San Francisco Chronicle: Feminists Against Palin – Shame On You J. R.… Continue reading Antidotes to Palin-phobia

Palin-phobia shows no sign of decreasing

(This post is in purple in honor of World Alzheimer’s Day – see below.) The loony Left are still frothing at the mouth about Governor Sarah Palin. I’ve mentioned this before, but the tidal wave of revulsion, anger and bitterness shows no sign of receding. The New York Sun has highlighted the reaction to Governor… Continue reading Palin-phobia shows no sign of decreasing

Doofus Of The Day #66

The latest D.O.T.D. award goes unhesitatingly to Michael Seitzman, a blogger on the Huffington Post, for his article piece (of trash) entitled ‘Sarah Palin Naked‘. I realized three things tonight. For one, if you are a McCain/Palin/Bush voter, you and I do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in brain power.… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #66

Are the mainstream media destroying themselves?

I’ve been watching developments since the announcement of Governor Sarah Palin’s selection as Senator McCain’s Vice-Presidential running-mate with bemused fascination. I’ve posted about it before, here: but the non-stop hammering being meted out to her by the mainstream media has become mind-boggling in its intensity – and it seems to be backfiring on them. The… Continue reading Are the mainstream media destroying themselves?

Sarah Palin

I’m enjoying all the fuss about Sarah Palin’s selection as Senator McCain’s vice-presidential running mate. I think she’s a great choice. A strong, independent spirit, not afraid to take on party vested interests; a proven record fighting corruption and the “good-old-boy” network; strong on many positions and values that I regard as very important, even… Continue reading Sarah Palin

As Lawdog would say – *Gigglesnort!*

At the e-mailed suggestion of a reader, I took a quick look at the Amazon.com listing for Nancy Pelosi’s new book. The “Tags Customers Associate With This Product” page is highly interesting. Click the image for a larger view. It also seems that someone at Amazon is trying to sugar-coat the bitter pill. A discussion… Continue reading As Lawdog would say – *Gigglesnort!*

Our Senators and Representatives need a swift kick in the ass!

I’m very angry to read a Reuters report that the Senate is deadlocked, and can make no progress with urgent legislation, because of partisan bickering. A partisan election-year battle over high gasoline prices and a Republican push to open more U.S. coastal waters and federal land to oil and gas drilling has brought work in… Continue reading Our Senators and Representatives need a swift kick in the ass!

I’m sure this will draw forth condom-nation

I’m grinning at a report from New York about the latest in political paraphernalia. The presidential race is in full swing — but not the way you might think. A young New York City entrepreneur has decided to “have fun” with the campaign by marketing condoms featuring images of Barack Obama and John McCain. Benjamin… Continue reading I’m sure this will draw forth condom-nation
