No pictures?

I assume we can’t release the pictures because the photos of Osama bin Laden’s corpse being stuffed with raw bacon and fed to wild dogs might be insulting.  The line of sailors pissing over the rail while they dragged the remains a bit to turn them into shark chum on the props might be insulting [...]

Osama Bin Laden is Dead

Everything else is being said, I’ll just point out the ridiculous number of people today spelling Osama with a “b”. It got so bad, so quickly, that the media has taken to calling him “Usama” again. That’s funny, I don’t care who you are. Awesome work, U.S. Navy Seals!

Food Shortages? Explain this.

A recent article warned that because of (global warming/climate change/al gore’s bank account) the world was in danger of increased food shortages.  As usual, the gist was that the evil West is abusing the planet and the innocent, helpless third-world is starving. I’ve long questioned the logic of turning food crops into (heavily subsidized) fuel [...]

9-11-10

Nine years. I still can’t watch this without getting a lump in the pit of my stomach. Never forget.

Peace Through Strength

Seems quite reasonable to me. A Platform for Restoring ‘Peace Through Strength’ In a world characterized by growing threats to freedom and the U.S. Constitution, America’s exceptional role, and indeed our country’s very existence, is at risk.  We believe such times demand a robust, comprehensive national security posture appropriate to today’s threats, and tomorrow’s.  Toward [...]

It’s how muslims celebrate their victories

They’ve been doing it for centuries.  Does anyone really think this is just “outreach?”

Kagan

Yesterday I wrote my Congressman regarding the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United States.  I told him I hoped he planned to vote against her confirmation, and described some of my reasons.  Today I saw this testimony, and Senator Burr, I hope you heard it, too: A Veteran Puts Kagan [...]

Michael Steele is a Moron

This is Michael Steel trying to be, to quote him, “too cute by half.” “This is a war of Obama’s choosing.”  Apparently he forgot about Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and 9-11. I’m with Bill Kristol on this one… Michael Steele: Resign.

9-11: Erwin L. Erker

Something struck me as I was reading about Erwin Erker.  He was a regular guy.  Hell, he sounds like any number of people I know and deal with every day, even a bit like me.  He was into technology, that’s apparent by his choice of careers, enjoyed both watching and playing sports, and kept an [...]

Happy New Year

So my Obama-depression inspired bout of “nothing I want to write about” fugue has gone on long enough. Let’s see what’s interesting in the world. There’s fighting in Gaza… and in case you forgot, Israel’s enemies are the same fanatical assholes that are our enemies. They are liars and deceivers (if you believe people like [...]

Reason Enough

Obama’s Youtube Arrogance Just Became A Nightmare

10,001

I just noticed the counter to the right has passed 10,000 (10,001 at the time of this writing). Ugh. TheReligionofPeace.com Turns 10,000! In the mind-numbing aftermath of 9/11, who would have guessed that within just a few years American politicians would be campaigning on promises to ensure the comfort of incarcerated terrorists… that Hollywood writers [...]

Fresh out of retirement…

Cindy Sheehan arrested at Petraeus hearing Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Monday in or near the hearing room where Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker are testifying on the situation in Iraq, according to the U.S. Capitol Police. [...] Sheehan was the face of the anti-war movement before saying in [...]

13,470 Needless, Meaningless, Wasteful Deaths

And it has nothing to do with Iraq, Afghanistan, war, or any other “headline” news item for political use. Where’s the public outrage? Where’re the politicians grandstanding for CNN? Why are THIRTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY deaths in a single year not important enough to make the evening news? ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — Drunken [...]
