When I saw these headlines this morning, I knew something was amiss: At Least 10 Are Killed as Israel Halts Flotilla With Gaza Aid Israeli soldiers kill at least 10 protesters on boat carrying supplies to Gaza Israel Attacks Palestinian Aid Flotilla Deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship Israel has one of the [...]
Tomorrow is Memorial Day. I wish I had something wonderful to say here, but I really don’t. When I think of the tens of thousands who spilled their blood so that I and mine didn’t have to spill ours, I am awed. I simply do not have anything adequate to say to express my gratitude. [...]
I’m not sure if you’ve kept abreast of the growing scandal threatening the Obama administrat…what? Which growing scandal, you ask? Oh, yes, well, you’re right. There have been a few, haven’t there? Okay, this is the latest one. It doesn’t involve racist preachers, corrupt machine cronyism in Illinois, giving favors to beloved campaign contributors, incompetence [...]
Peggy Noonan, former Presidential speechwriter and one-time conservative, has come crashing back to earth, her dreams of a less-rancorous unicorn-intensive Obama presidency wrecked by…well…let’s get into that in a moment. First, Jules Crittenden and Jill of Pundit and Pundette examine the meat of Noonan’s article: that President Obama’s political and practical competence dealing with the [...]

I wonder if anyone at the New York Times considered how many Americans this story is likely to kill before they released it? WASHINGTON — The top American commander in the Middle East has ordered a broad expansion of clandestine military activity in an effort to disrupt militant groups or counter threats in Iran, Saudi [...]
I decided to run the whole show solo this week, which means that Episode 40 is freewheeling and just a little bit ranty. I do think I got the balance between bloviation and entertainment balanced well enough, though. The chatroom folks seemed to like how it came off. I think we’ve come up with a [...]
I pray that all the cable news networks send a camera crew to this. According to the official web site of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) — an independent Baptist church and hate group known for its hatred of homosexuals and its protest activities (which include picketing funerals) — WBC is planning on picketing Ronnie [...]
I can see how Robert Gibbs would find the First Amendment regrettable. When your job is to lie to 300 million Americans ever day, you probably wouldn’t want them to freely talk back.
