My fellow leftoids may rage against FOXNews, but I appreciate the service they provide: putting all the right-wing crazy into one predictable package. Really, I don’t need Media Matters to cherry-pick the offensive and stupid, when all I have to do is look for the FOXNews byline on my Google News reader, and I know … Read More “Never Been Any Reason” »
Awright! We got Osama! Or, really, his cook. But how’s he gonna get his lamb kabobs now, huh? Anyway, the cook will get two years, wherever the military decides to finally put him. The judge, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Nancy Paul, said an assistant defense secretary ordered two years ago that the Army and the … Read More “Well, That Was Worth It” »
The WaPo reports BP crapped 4.9 million barrels (205.8 million gallons) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Or about a quarter of the U.S. daily consumption of oil, per CIA World Factbook 2008 estimate. But double that of India, whose population is significantly larger than my native land. So per capita, it’s pretty sad … Read More “Hard to Put This in Perspective” »
So the ObamAdmin’s response to the WikiLeaks papers: “We are in this region of the world because of what happened on 9/11,” Mr. Gibbs said. “Ensuring that there is not a safe haven in Afghanistan by which attacks against this country and countries around the world can be planned. That’s why we’re there, and that’s … Read More “In Case You Didn’t Hear it the First Kabillion Times….” »
This is indeed the dumbest thing yet said about Shirley Sherrod. So dumb, even Tintin’s shorter parody can not live down to it. (Title taken from Dylan’s “Idiot Wind.” No decent YouTube vid for it, but Adam Levy does a good impersonator version.) Oh, and my two cents on how the Obama Admin dealt with … Read More “Blowing like a circle around my skull…” »
The Taliban claims to have captured two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, while U.S. missiles kill 16 “militants” in Northwest Pakistan. Meanwhile my kids’ school district is cutting over a hundred jobs and consolidating schools. Unemployment remains at about 10 percent (which translate up to 16 percent, at least) when it took Congress 7 weeks to … Read More “We Will Fight the Heathens” »
I don’t dispute Dennis G’s simple take on the mid-term elections: In November we face a choice between the Confederate Party and modernity. But sweet baby jeebiz, that’s a downer. If “modernity” is defined as the corporate crony Democrats currently overseeing two wars, Plan Mexico, and a continuation of police state policies created by the … Read More “A Depressing Binary” »
News is coming down that Roman Polanski is off the hook: The Swiss government this morning announced that it has rejected the U.S.’ request to extradite the director back to Los Angeles so that he could finally face up to the charge he fled the country over back in 1977—namely, having sex with a 13-year-old … Read More “A Fine Distinction” »
The Oregonian editors lament the latest round of cuts in education throughout the state of Oregon and puzzle over the absence of outrage among citizens who see their school systems eliminate staff, shorten the school year, and close schools. But the editors hasten to add, lest anyone think they are crazy or something, “We’re not … Read More “Why NOT Perpetually Fund Education?” »
So far the “reasons to doubt” allegations of sexual assault by vice president Al Gore seem less like reasons to doubt than cases of cautious reporting and police investigation — both worthy things if we presume the accused is innocent and the onus of evidence is on the state. Lack of evidence is simply that; … Read More “We Know Bupkis, But Let’s Keep Babbling!” »
