Gaspar Llamazares Wants You to Know That He Is Not Bin Laden

January 16, 2010

It looks like Spanish Communist politician Gaspar Llamazares pissed off someone at the FBI. As you may recall, the FBI released some age-enhanced photos last week to show the world what the terrorist may look like today. Unfortunately, the FBI wasn’t satisfied with the finished product. So rather than just going back to the drawing [...]

Terror in Jakarta Targets Foreigners

July 17, 2009

Obama Administration Newspeak: Unfortunately our overseas contingency operations failed to stop a man-caused disaster which took the life of at least 18 non-Americans in Jakarta, Indonesia, at the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton Hotels today.

Obama Bounced

June 17, 2008

Usually a Presidential candidate who has just received their party’s nomination gets a traditional “bounce” in the polls in the weeks following their success. However, Obama has not received such a bounce: the same bounce that had Mondale up by 20 in 1984 and Dukakis up by 17 in 1988. The bounce may be delayed, [...]

Osama Has Bin Relevant, Not So Much Anymore

March 19, 2008

How the mighty have fallen. In 2001, Osama Bin Laden actively and openly led a sophisticated international terrorist network that was disciplined, organized, well-financed, supported by evil regimes, and successful in carrying out terrorist attacks on American soil. After President Bush responded to the September 11 attack with a multi-pronged strategy including two wars, international [...]
