We really do have a lot in common with the UK.

We may need the expertise of Ryan’s brother for this one. Reuters claims that two Israeli missiles struck one of their vehicles. Although not quite calling BS, Powerline doubts the claim. Perhaps a military eye could shed some light on this.

I was lucky enough to catch the fourth debate between Cranston Mayor Steve Laffey and incumbent Senator Ralph Wiggum yesterday. I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t thrilled with Laffey’s performance, but the unintentional comedy out of Senator Chafee was rich. Anchor Rising has some excellent coverage and ongoing debate on the candidates.
According to [...]

A while back, I expressed pleasant surprise with Ehud Olmert’s decision to take no terrorist prisoners in response to the Hezbollah kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. For a couple of weeks, Olmert’s job performance was nothing short of impressive. However, it appears Olmert read some Democrat talking points. He accepted a UN ceasefire and [...]

She Who Must Not Be Named has thrown her support behind almost-certified lunatic Ned Lamont in the Connecticut Senate race. This news is not about Ned Lamont, Joe Lieberman, or even the direction of the Democrat party. It is about She Who Must Not Be Named’s unmatched opportunism.
Prior to the Democrat primary, You Know Who [...]

Hmm… Why?
They just scored a victory with Hezbollah, the UN can’t get it together anywhere, and China and Russia are obstructing anything that will give America a leg up or down. Iran should just live it up.
I think they’re planning to “talk” more as they continue to enrich. That way the UN will not feel [...]

Jimmah Carter said in an interview with the uber-Deutsch Der Spiegel that Amerca and Israel “stand alone” because of our insistence that the terrorists in Hezbollah should be degraded and that their extra-constitutional militia does not trump the democratically elected government of Lebanon and numerous UN Resolutions. Saith Jimmah:

“I don’t think that Israel has any [...]

In my opinion, like most things that the UN gets its filthy mitts on, no one really wins, despite the rhetoric from both sides. Here’s my point of view:

The kidnapped Israeli soldiers have still not been released, which is kind of important since that’s what started this mess.
Hezbollah thinks they’ve won, so don’t expect them [...]

Though in its early stages of development as a story, a major terrorist plot larger than 9/11 has been “thwarted” by British Intelligence. All kinds of liquids, cell phones, and other electronics are being banned from carry-ons both in Britain and here in the USA as a precaution, leading one to wonder about the nature [...]

The Latest from Rasmussen on other interesting races:

Race #1:
Chafee v. Whitehouse
Well, RI’s favorite RINO dunce is losing to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse by about six points (44-38%) in the latest round of polls. Whitehouse trounces Laffey by 24 percentage points (55-31%). The anecdotal evidence from RI (since I was there last weekend) is that NO ONE [...]

Drudge is reporting that former Star Wars bar customer Ned Lamont has defeated Senator Joe Lieberman in today’s Connecticut Democrat primary. This is a great day for the Republican party but I’m sorry to say it is a sad day for America.
Joe Lieberman supports high taxes, big government, slaughtering the unborn, affirmative action, gun control [...]

Funny that our friends at al Reuters news agency have egg on their face at least twice in the last month of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. Doctored photos should be a great reason for the immediate firing of any independent photographer, yet al Reuters waited until a second doctored photo from the same fellow [...]

Lebanon has rejected the UN Draft Resolution that could bring an end to this round of fighting in the Mideast. Funny, because in my opinion, Israel should be the one upset with this Resolution! Hezbollah has 2 Israeli prisoners. Israel has hundreds of Hezbollah’s prisoners. Who started this melee a month ago? Who is being [...]

These links from Drudge are completly worth reposting, since I heard them already on Rush yesterday. In the 1930s temps were the hottest on average we’ve ever noted. 1922 was appraently the hottest year ever, for anybody. I guess we need to revive the ol’ global cooling ice age theory from the 1970s! Fat chance [...]

In the midst of heat waves in much of the U.S, parts of South Africa are going through their first snowstorm in 25 years. In the dubious science of climate change (to which there is little real scientific data, but only lots of hyperbole), how would one explain this?

Many people ridiculed Bush 2002 why Bush grouped North Korea with Iran and Iraq in the Axis of Evil. It seemed counter-intuitive. Iraq was a secular Sunni regime with some ties to Al Qaida and an agenda against the U.S. Iran is a Islamo-fascist theocracy with nuclear ambitions. North Korea is a closed-off Marxist-Leninist totalitarian [...]
