  • Problems with the Press

    I was reading Tam’s posting on the sickening Polanski case and how Hollywood and the press have been complicit in defending child rape and something occurred to me. The press stopped being the “Hounds of News” when they started putting pretty talking heads up on the screen instead of actual reporters. With ‘newsanchors’ basically being… Continue reading

  • Some interesting ideas over at American Thinking

    American Thinker has several VERY good articles (as always) but here’s a few that caught my eye. The first one, by Greg Lewis, discusses Obama’s ‘beta-male’ behavior and how his mannerisms show the homo sapiens version of canid submissive behavior. As a person raised around chows and at dog shows a lot, I found this… Continue reading

  • The difference between conservatives and liberals

    The text below comes via The Bookworm Room: “If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn`t buy one.If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat.If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative sees… Continue reading

  • SNL takes Obama to task on tasks not done

    This video is brought to you via Powerline (h.t. The Breda Fallacy). I have to admit I laughed, but mainly from delight, because I thought it was funny that the writers on one of the most liberal shows are catching a clue. It made me sad too, because this very dangerous idiot is in place… Continue reading

  • Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies….

    Via Western Rifle Shooters Assn, a link to RedState with what they’re terming the money quote of the month. Obama’s envoy to the Sudan, Retired Air Force Major Scott Gration, likens countries to small children “Kids, countries, they react to gold stars, smiley faces, handshakes, agreements, talk, engagement.” “We’ve got to think about giving out… Continue reading

  • Picketing the Fourth Estate

    Finally, on October 17, there is going to be an offshoot of the Tea Partys that directly go for the Legacy Media. There is a planned picket of CNN in Atlanta. The only problem that I can see with it, is that the Legacy Media really doesn’t see itself as biased (CNN, CBS, NBC) or… Continue reading

  • Slow blogging day… however, one bright spot

    As much as I hate to keep on about this Polanski thing, I did read one good thing today. Via Insty, Ed Bernero actually writes that he is ashamed of those of his peers who are supporting this creepy pedophile. Big Hollywood has started its own petition for those who think that Polanski should face… Continue reading

  • And the word is out… and so is Chicago…

    Not only did Chicago NOT get the Olympic Games, they were out in the first round despite the fact that the Obamas and Oprah made an appearance. Via Gateway Pundit, they are blaming Bush for making the world hate the United States SOOOO much that they couldn’t possibly give us the Olympics (you would think… Continue reading

  • Why they had to send Obama to Denmark…

    Talking with B this morning. Tried to understand why they had to send Oprah and Michelle and Barak to Denmark instead of the mayor of the city that’s been angling for the Olympics. Best we can figure is that Daly just has never bothered to take any speech lessons and he sounds like a Capone-era… Continue reading

  • If someone asks you if you like guns, you say 'YES'!

    In an article from the Northwest Indiana newspaper online, there is a story of two men who were robbed by a man (who they had driven all over town). Before he robbed them, he asked them if they liked guns. When they replied ‘no’, he informed them that he had a gun (which they never… Continue reading
