All Your Fakes!
The Jawa Report sets it all to a familiar tune… So good I had to watch it twice.
Childish Propaganda
Mideast Conflict on Yahoo! News Photos The caption to this picture reads “A Palestinian boy holds a toy gun and wears a mask while pretending to shoot at U.S. tourists on a street in Jerusalem’s old town August 18, 2006. REUTERS/Finbarr O’Reilly” Kids playing war. We all did that when we were young, no big [...]
Hurray for Hollywood!
It never ceases to amaze when something good and supportive happens, and it doesn’t make the mainstream news. Ok, so the LA Times is pretty mainstream, but since I don’t read it, I had to find out about it via the Australians… That being said, this is awesome: Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah | Herald Sun [...]
Where do the ideas go?
This morning, as I went through my daily routine getting ready for work, some ideas occurred to me regarding the odd juxtaposition of the former USSR and the United States in regards to dealing with the mad mullahs and their maniacal minions of the Middle East. It made perfect sense, and had all the hallmarks [...]
You’re Fired!
There is sanity left in the world, and this proves it. Georgia Congresswoman Ousted in Runoff DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Rep. Cynthia McKinney, known for her conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 attacks and a scuffle with a U.S. Capitol police officer, conceded the Democratic primary runoff early Wednesday in a speech that blamed the [...]
Media manipulation
A thorough study on the effectiveness of Hezbollah’s manipulation of the international media… this is how we’ll lose the war on terror, if we don’t wake up real damned soon to the way we’re being deceived in the papers and on the evening news. Lose is probably not the right word… give up is probably [...]
Improper use of photo editing software?
Once again Cox & Forkum hit the nail on the head. (Title of this cartoon refers to this famous quote: The first casualty when war comes is truth) This is a hoot. Reuters photographers are photoshopping images and publishing them as news. Bloggers catch them, professional photographers out them, and this is all we get [...]
XHTML Valid YouTube posts
This is more a note to myself than anything else, but it may help others as well. YouTube videos/links are one of the hottest things going on the web today, but like so many other services, they can’t seem to be bothered to provide XHTML valid links for their “post this” data. For instance YouTube [...]
Being Five
And now for something completely different… This is the cutest new comic I’ve seen in a long time. Definitely worth bookmarking to see where they go. Being Five
2,996
IMAO: 2,996 IMAO pointed this out. If you’re a blogger, consider signing up. I am number 1221, so there is a need for 1775 more of us. In retrospect, that’s a rather uncanny numeric coincidence. Here’s the gist: The idea is simple, but powerful: have a special tribute for each victim of 9/11, with each [...]
Jack(ass) gets a day in court
Looks like Jumpin’ Jack(ass) Murtha will be getting a little reminder that when you attack a Marine, the Marine fights back. Marine Names Murtha in Defamation Suit A Marine Corps Staff Sergeant who led the squad accused of killing two dozen civilians in Haditha, Iraq, will file a lawsuit today in federal court in Washington [...]
Old, Tired, and Whacked in the head
The other day, after watching a press conference featuring yet another Tony Snow vs. Helen Thomas exchange, I asked rhetorically, “Who is this bitch? Does anyone even publish her anymore?” Oddly enough, the American Thinker brought me some insight on the answers today when they referenced this New Republic article: Hack journalist Helen Thomas’s strange [...]
