Funeral Crasher Slithers Away

Published by under All General Discussions

Michelle Malkin is about to post a response from Lt Gov Catherine Knoll in what appears to be a lame attempt to slither out of the lime light after she crashed a funeral for a fallen hero and made inappropriate political comments. I just got off the phone with Sal Sirabella, Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker [...]

Can Islam Turn From The Dark Side?

It is well known that support for Al Qaeda is dropping throughout the middle east. But what I would like to see is a long series of stories like this one: Saudi security forces on Monday arrested a terror suspect in the holy city of Madinah who figured on a recently issued list of wanted [...]

Published by under All General Discussions

Patrick Ruffini is conducting a on-line straw poll for 2008 candidates (note to Patrick, next time include Condi Rice). I am happy to see my vote for Sen Allen of VA is the leading voter getter.

The Tancredo Genie is Out

Watcher, our Council Leader, has a very disturbing take on Tancredo’s idiotic declaration that we would bomb Mecca if the terrorists attacked us. As I stated earlier, Tancredo’s idiocy is based on the reality that such an act would push all moderate muslims off the fence or away from our side and into the jubilant [...]

Sick Protests Against The War

Published by under All General Discussions

It seems that not only is AQ ramping up its attacks, so too are the anti-war crowd. And in a very unsavory manner. Capt Ed has the story of arsonists attacking the house of one of our fallen heros, a day after he was laid to rest. American flags, lining the lawn of the mother- [...]

Crazy For Notoriety

Published by under All General Discussions

I seem to be repeating myself, but what kind of nutcase goes out and pretends to have a bomb on a train after the couple weeks we have seen in the UK? This kind apparently: Police arrested a man following a bomb scare that emptied Pennsylvania Station and disrupted service on Amtrak, commuter trains and [...]

Rendell, Knoll To Apologize?

Published by under All General Discussions

I caught this distasteful story about PA Lt Gov Catherine Knoll coming uninvited to a Marine’s funeral and mailing completely insensitive political comments and posted on it here. At that time I said an apology was not sufficient, that Knoll and Rendell needed to do more and resign. Looks like an apology is all anyone [...]

Post’s Kilgore Funk

Published by under All General Discussions

The Washington Post cannot hide its liberal stripes any longer. Today a member of its liberal editorial board writes a liberal screed about Virginia not being liberal enough. It is one of the worst pieces I have ever seen – full of spin and marketing and far short on balanced facts (i.e., the complete picture). [...]

UK Ponders How It Got Here

Published by under All General Discussions

Not surprisingly the whole of Britian is contemplating how it got into the situation it finds itself, and where to go now. What to do with the terrorist element it harbored for so many years [hat tip RealClearPolitics] A kind of fatalism led us to expect that our city would take its turn to be [...]

No Surprise, No Paper

The news that the White House will invoke executive privelege and also honor the client-lawyer relationship is not a surprise. John Roberts worked for two Republican administrations, offering private legal assessments that have yet to be opened to historians or the public. Now that Roberts is President Bush’s choice to join the Supreme Court, some [...]
