I have been posting for a while on how Pakistan is preparing to go on the offensive against the Taliban and al-Qaeda in country and spreading unrest. Well Captain Ed Morrissey has noticed some great news on that front with the capture of two of Mullah Omar’s top men in Pakistan: Several key aides to […]

I tell you what, the nation is so tired of listening to the whining from the far right I have to admit it is probably best the GOP go into a time out for a while – at least the far right. They throw temper tantrums, sling insults to any and all who think differently, […]

The news out today regarding the foiled UK car bomb plot is at least one of the suspects was in communication with al-Qaeda In Iraq only months prior to the execution of the attack: Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command SO15 is understood to have uncovered evidence that in the months leading up to the attacks […]

I watched a bit of the Live Earth Concert last night while channel surfing on our 106″ diagonal HD home theatre (projection system which only cost us about $1600 by buying the pieces over the internet) and I caught a bit of Madonna and other acts, but when Roger Waters came on in Trenton NJ […]
