This is what they do

Apparently, Venezuelan nutbag President Hugo Chavez has determined not to renew the license for a television station that criticizes him.
Those who cackled when he called President Bush the devil during his U.N. address in September, and prohibiting foreign oil investors (while ‘reclaiming’ the facilities built on the investors dime) may want to keep this latest [...]

Saddam – he’s in the Iraqi’s hands now….

According to Reuters, Saddam has been transferred to Iraqi custody and may be hanged within hours.
My prayers are not for Saddam (although I think he could probably use all the help he can get), but for our soldiers and all the Iraqis who may experience violent blowback from the extremists.  Makes you wonder if it [...]

Winter Soldier?

This image is making the rounds on the blogosphere today.  And rightly so.
Powerline and Hottalk have the story and quotes from a soldier in Iraq.
Here’s the accompanying photo.

Perhaps the “blame American first”, “we can’t win”, “pull out the troops” crowd will understand the plain message of this photo, even though there is no “nuance” involved.
God [...]

The March to Mecca

Really, you’ve got to read Greg Gutfield’s post at the HuffPo today.
It’s here.
I’m not a joiner, but he makes the March to Mecca sound like so much darn fun, I’m going to check my frequent flyer miles.

You, Robot…can I call you Robbie?

I have so many thoughts about this, I don’t even know how to express them coherently.  I’d ask my robot to do it, but he charges by the word.
UK report says robots will have rights
Favorite quotes?  Oh, yeah….
“If we make conscious robots they would want to have rights and they probably should,”
“Would it be acceptable [...]

Putin – starting to tighten the screws?

Putin signals end to overseas ownership of Russian energy
It would seem to be prudent to seriously consider these seizures, first by Venezuela last spring and now by Russia.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, and a well-documented nut-job, has made no secret of his disdain for the U.S.and his wish to see us brought to our knees.  Russia’s [...]

Ousted imams want airline settlement

This just infuriates me. These guys were either:
1) Doing a dry run in preparation for a terrorist attack. Scouting current levels of response from airlines, U.S. Marshalls and the American flying public.
2) Doing something they thought was funny.
3) Trying to frighten the crap out of the people on that plane [...]

Iran students heckle Ahmadinejad

After students heckle President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during a speech at Tehran University, he blames…
wait for it…
Of course, the United States of America.
Oh, and the United States of American Dictator, too.
What a lunatic this yo-yo is.

Hopefully, these brave students won’t turn up missing.
  Iranian students have disrupted a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a prestigious [...]

Al Gore – reputation salvager? Ah, no…

Well, another fastinating statement by cutting edge, future Nobel Peace Prize winner Lindsay Lohan has been release. The story from around the web, goes like this:
Lindsay Lohan’s Fully Adequite Blackberry Manifesto
Subject: The way of the future-Howard Hughes once said.
I am willing to release a politically/morally correct, fully adequite letter to the press [...]

New blog has been born

Apparently, Tom DeLay has birthed his new blog named, appropriately, TomDeLay.com.
I was kind of excited when Newt Gingrich started his “Winning the Future” website, however, you must be a ‘premium’ member (at $5.95/month!) to access the blog.
Hopefully, DeLay will make good on his promise to “provide Americans with a new meeting place [...]

Irrational Hysteria – brought to you by the fourth estate

I doubt this will get much coverage, which is really sad.  I wonder if the bigger question is why the media and their minions persist in doing this.  The statement below that the coverage of global warming has created a bias that has become an “irrational
hysteria” is right. 
If it’s been proven or even suggested [...]

Too much to bear, working 5 days a week.

So I’m wondering, at what point do our elected officials disregard the honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work?
Actually, I don’t know if we can ever truly expect and ‘honest day’s work’ out of politicians, but we can expect a full day’s work.
Quit your carpin’ and start to workin’!  By the way, I am [...]

Sometimes you have to put your foot down…

Men need to realize that you can only push a woman so far.

ST. LOUIS: Warm beer led to killing, police say

12/04/2006
A St. Louis man was shot to death Sunday night over a warm beer, police said.
St. Louis police say a woman shot her husband, who was about 70 years old, four to five times [...]

Shut up and act (if you can)….

So another ‘celebrity’ has weighed in on just how bad we Americans are…and of course, it’s an American.
Gwyneth Paltrow has opened her pie-hole again, stating:
“I love the English lifestyle, it’s not as capitalistic as America. People don’t talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner,” she told “NS,” the weekend [...]
