Foreign Policy by Accolade. Been There, Done That, Have the Dead Americans to Prove It.
I wanted to revisit a quote from a link I used in my last post, because it gives me a chance to rail against the Obama administration’s attempts to dial our foreign policy back to the realpolitik days of Carter and Reagan (yes, even Reagan). Here is the reaction of the State Department to President [...]
Actions Still Drowning Out Words, Everywhere But Here
And that’s why this award must be shared with everyone who strives for justice and dignity — for the young woman who marches silently in the streets on behalf of her right to be heard even in the face of beatings and bullets; for the leader imprisoned in her own home because she refuses to [...]
Just Consider This the Obamessiah Version of the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem.
I can now say that I am incapable of being surprised by world events anymore. I had that confirmed this morning when I heard this on the news and didn’t immediately drive my car into a ditch in complete and utter bewilderment at the brazenness of it all. I’m sure my ho-hum reaction says as [...]
I Bet the Moon Men Have No Idea We’re Coming, Either.
Shortly after 7 A.M. Eastern, NASA’s LCROSS satellite will separate into two craft wile over the south polar region of the moon. One of those craft, an empty fuel tank named Centaur, will crash into the moon’s surface. The impact should create a six-feet deep crater inside an already existing crater and kick up a [...]
If Conservatives Want A New Media Environment, They’re Going to Have to Listen
MIchael van der Galien got the opportunity to interview Andrew Breitbart who is, without a doubt, the top media mogul on the internet right now. Breitbart helped Matt Drudge run his site, conceived and launched The Huffington Post for Arianna Huffington, then launched Big Hollywood and Big Government, the latter of which turned the world [...]
Quotes of the Day? Pshaw!
I realized today that I don’t link to Bob Belvedere’s The Camp of the Saints blog nearly often enough. Bob links like rabbits multiply is very witty. It is a crying shame that he doesn’t get more attention from the big-name bloggers because he definitely puts in the work. He linked two Shack posts today [...]
Who is the Coffee For?
The coffee is for closers…and linkers! Because what is the number one rule of blogging? Always Be Linking! Losers, who don’t link, don’t get the steak knives and they don’t get mentioned in classy link roundups either. You don’t want to be a loser, do you? You want those steak knives. And you want to [...]
Nothing Like Getting Beat Up By An Ugly Chick in Heels.
This is the funniest story I’ve seen all week. Don’t jump ahead to the link just yet, because it gives away the punch line. Here’s the setup. Two young rough-toughs in South Wales got liquored up and decided, in their drunkenness (one of them was reported to have had 10 pints (!!) of cider), to [...]
That’s What You Said
