The Tyrant Mugabe Smacktalks the The Whole Civilized World
Yet another tyrant thumbs his nose at the civilized world. SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) – Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe will not step down and Western critics who called the country’s recent election a sham can “go hang,” the longtime ruler’s spokesman said Tuesday. Do you wonder what gives a man like Mugabe, who has killed [...]
2008 Olympics: Now Mostly Riot-Free!
Is there some really compelling reason that the IOC had to grant the Olympics to a tyranny as unrepentantly repressive as that of China? With authorities eager to present China as a harmonious nation during the August Games, the government has ordered local officials to defuse petition campaigns by discontented citizens and to prevent “mass [...]
Bolton Speaks on North Korea. His Moustacheness is Not Pleased.

But the news works doesn’t want [...]
Video: Islamists Run Like Prissy Girls, Throw Even Worse
Ace has the quote, and video, of the day. “God may be great. You know what else is great? Not throwing like a girl.” Remember, according to the Democrats, we’ve made no progress at all against the Islamist killers. Nope. None at all. They’re just throwing their Rookie Leaguers against our soldiers to get them [...]
