“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”

by Ryan on December 30, 2006

in Politics

It’s funny. Saddam was a murderous dictator that sought and had WMD’s (to certain degrees of course), who used them, who invaded two of his neighbors (Iran and Kuwait), who supported terrorism against Israelis, and who tried to kill Bush 41, etc. I feel delighted that this man was executed for crimes against [...]

Saddam Is Dead

by Mike on December 29, 2006

in Politics

The dictator who harbored and funded terrorists, invaded his neighbors, and slaughtered his own people was hanged about forty minutes ago. Iraqi Americans in Dearborn, Michigan familiar with the thug are dancing in the streets.
This is a glorious day. One of the major obstacles to victory in Iraq is the fear among the [...]

Tick tock…

by Ryan on December 28, 2006

in Politics

Saddam is slated to be executed by Sunday, before 2007 and before the beginning of the Eid holiday (though it seems to me that Muslims have very many widely observed holidays). I personally think that Saddam should die– it’s the least the Iraqi Government can do for the decades of brutal repression and current [...]

President Gerald Ford (1913-2006)

by Mike on December 27, 2006

in Politics

Gerald Ford, the 38th President of the United States, passed away last night at the age of 93. He was the longest living President in American history.
America has lost a great statesman. Both as President and as an ordinary citizen, Gerald Ford always did what he thought was right. As President, Ford’s most noteworthy act [...]

A “Raw Deal” for the Iraqi People

by Ryan on December 24, 2006

in Politics

The Times Online has this article today describing a roughly $18 billion ”New Deal” proposal for the Iraqi people that Dubya is spearheading.  Why is the thought of Lame Duck Dubya (a Bush, mind you) thinking about a failed socialist experiment from 70+ years ago to fix a modern economic problem a frightening one?  The only thing Iraqi’s will have [...]

Sandy “Burgler’s” Back

by Ryan on December 21, 2006

in Politics

Former National Security Advisor Sandy Burgler really DID have something in his pants, in a dumpster, and in a construction trailer three summers ago, on behalf of the Clinton team trying to make sure that the 9/11 Commission got all the right information on the Clinton years of appeasement!  He has already pled guilty to unlawfully “handling” classified documents, but he [...]

Bush Blues

by Ryan on December 20, 2006

in Politics

President Bush is as “lame” a lame duck as one can get– and it’s totally his fault. He poked his head out of his cave and had a rare moment in front of the public/press about the new direction in Iraq. “We’re not winning, we’re not losing,” or something like that. “Blah, [...]

Blinding Us with Science

by Mike on December 20, 2006

in Politics

A few months ago, a moonbat by the internet name of “Spooked” humored conservatives across the country with a scientific experiment in his back yard. This liberal, who probably isn’t cool enough to hang out with the folks at a joint Star Trek and Magic the Gathering convention, humorously cited his chicken wire [...]

Is It “Fitzmas” Yet?

by Ryan on December 19, 2006

in Politics

Fitz-mas is coming at last! Or is it?  We’ve been wondering this question for years now (I only have to wait 12 months for Christmas).  Dick Cheney is slated to testify for the continuation of a witch hunt that rivals anything McCarthy did– just without the results.
Cheney’s defending Scooter Libby from Fitzgerald’s nonsense.  Richard Armitage [...]

Monica? Is That You?

The headline claims the article is about She Who Must Not Be Named.  I guess I’ll never know because I couldn’t get past the first sentence without LMAO.

Hitchens Smakdown

by Sal on December 17, 2006

in Politics

Laura Ingraham has a feature on her radio show called “Soundbite of the week”.  Last week, she had her “Soundbite of the Year” contest, and one of the nominees was Christopher Hitchens’ smaking down Bill Maher regarding people who make fun of George W. Bush’s intelligence.  The funny thing is, the audience proves Hitchens’ point.  [...]

Movie Review–Apocalypto

by Ryan on December 16, 2006

in Pop Culture

First of all, Apocalypto wasn’t trying to be the Mayan version of the Passion of the Christ and I did appreciate that it was its own movie. It was a tale set in Mayan times that tells the story of Jaguar Paw (pictured above) and his tribe going through the trials and tribulations of [...]

Bayh Not Running

by Mike on December 16, 2006

in Politics

Evan Bayh has declared that he will not run for President in 2008. It’s a shame too because deep down, Bayh is one of those Democrats who, as President, probably wouldn’t have endangered national security to win the admiration of the bar patrons in Star Wars.
That said, Bayh considered a run for years. [...]

I Need 3CCs of Kittens–Stat!

by Ryan on December 15, 2006

in Culture, Pop Culture, Religion

CC or Copy Cat, the first cloned cat, has recently given birth to three healthy kittens.  Of course, the dad, Smokey, was a more “natural” member of the species.  Two of the kittens look like CC, the other looks like the father.
The A&M scientists are hoping that this does not stir up any controversy.  I [...]

It’s always difficult to follow in the footsteps of a giant. Luckily that won’t be a problem for Ban Ki-moon, who was sworn in yesterday as the 8th Secretary General of the world’s most famous debating society. He takes office on January 1, 2007. Although Ki-moon paid tribute to his despicable predecessor, [...]

I Thought Romney Was the Mormon

by Mike on December 14, 2006

in Politics

Amazingly enough, I just learned something while watching Screwball with Screwball. Pat Buchanan mentioned that three of the leading Republican Presidential candidates have eight wives among them. Both Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich have been married three times. John McCain has been married twice. Mitt Romney, the Mormon currently in fourth place, [...]

Obama’s a Wimp?

by Ryan on December 14, 2006

in Politics

So it seems that everyone’s favorite inexperienced potential fluff candidate for 2008, Barak Hussein Obama, is a wimp.  Rush reported that Mr. Hussein Obama was upset at Maureen Dowd’s slight about his ears and the fact that his handlers have hidden his middle name for all this time.  If he whines about his name, of [...]

The Morbitity of the Drive-by Media

by Sal on December 14, 2006

in Politics

I wasn’t going to post on this subject, but the coverage this morning warrants it at this point.  I am frankly disgusted with the drive-by media, and this time it’s because of their coverage of a Democrat.  Sen. Tim Johnson, D-SD, was hospitalized with a severe condition involving the enlarging of arteries in his brain.  [...]

1,282 Down, 11,998,718 to Go

by Mike on December 13, 2006

in Politics

According to Michael Chertoff, the feds recently arrested 1,282 illegal immigrants not merely because they were illegal aliens.
“This is not only a case about illegal immigration, which is bad enough,” Chertoff said at a news conference in Washington. “It’s a case about identity theft and violation of the privacy rights and the economic rights of [...]

Good Start, Mitt!

Governor Romney’s star is shining!  This time, he OK’d the detainment of illegal aliens that Massachusetts State Troopers encounter during their normal duties.  I hope other elected officials follow suit.

Twenty five years ago today, martial law was declared in Communist Poland. As described by Radio Polonia and Radio Free Europe, Poland is commemorating that tragic day with re-enactments, prayer services, lectures, and remembrances of those who were murdered.
Few nations have experienced and stared down the face of evil like Poland. With a [...]

Media Finds a Dictator to Criticize

by Mike on December 13, 2006

in Politics

Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center has a great piece on the media’s coverage of dictators. Following the recent death of Augusto Pinochet, the media ran article after article slamming the former Chilean dictator. Fair enough. The man was responsible for some 3000 deaths. But why the epiphany on dictators [...]

What’s a Hezbollah?

by Mike on December 12, 2006

in Politics

Nancy Pelosi’s choice for Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Silvestre Reyes, failed a pop quiz given to him by Congressional Quartrly’s Jeff Stein. The Democrats’ best candidate for the job couldn’t describe Hezbollah, even though the terrorist group dominated the headlines during this summer’s conflict between Israel and Lebanon. In addition, [...]

Democrat Budget-Busters?

by Sal on December 12, 2006

in Politics

The Dems are proposing what the Republicans should have done in the 12 years that they controlled Congress by cancelling all pork-barrel projects for this fiscal year’s budget.  While it is only a one-year item, it is a brilliant political move because they may use this to try to shed their reputation as “tax-and-spend” liberals.  Some [...]
