A week after a high-profile send-up of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," the NBC comedy show returned to making fun of the Alaskan governor in a skit where New York Times reporters sought to probe the possibility Palin's husband was having sex with the couple's own daughters. "What about the husband?" asked a Times reporter during a mock assignment meeting for the paper. "You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska." The assignment editor for the Times, portrayed by actor James Franco, responded: "He very well could be. Admittedly, there is...

Given that we’re more than halfway to the century mark in Palin smears, I think it’s time to take another brief look at the left’s method of smear dissemination. Yesterday on a blog hosted by the prestigious magazine the Atlantic, a post popped up at 11:49 a.m. with the breathless title, “Here We Go.” The post read in its entirety, “Todd Palin's former business partner files an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed. Oh God.” The post linked to the Alaskan court system where you could see the motion if you cared to click through.

This is a lengthy, comprehensive review of McCain's angry behavior. Note, that it is a serious effort and tries to be fair; however, the author makes some common errors in respect to emotions and human behavior. The only quote I will post is the below. The article is at least 5 pages long on my computer, so 300 words would not be an adequate review. ...Since the beginning of McCain's public life, the many witnesses to his temper have had strikingly different reactions to it. Some depict McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee for president, as an erratic hothead incapable...

Pope Benedict's comments that caused an uproar among the Muslim population of the world were accurate. His quote was as follows: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus, 1391. ~ There is nothing here to apologize for, and yet the Pope has found it necessary to visit mosques and bow toward Mecca, as onlookers described, "like a Muslim". By performing such an act, he may as well have opened...

Monday, February 13, 2006 You know your city is too small when... (The back of Heather Wilson's head, on the left, with the top of the computer screen I'm hiding behind visible as I take the photo as quietly as I can...) ...you go to Starbucks to write and the evil Congressman (yes, man) Heather Wilson walks in, dressed in a manly blazer and manlier pants. Just call her W's mini-me. I don't know what the hell she's doing here. She is sitting here in front of me as I write. I just happened to have my digital camera and...

On MSNBC a little while ago, they had a story about the "politics of the CIA leak". The reporter was interviewing Pat Buchanan and Democratic strategist Peter Fenn. What follows is the best transcript I could piece together quickly. I've quoted Fenn word for word. PAT BUCHANAN: It's very, very serious...There is a credibility problem for the press secretary...There is no legal problem for Rove...Reporters in Washington have a gleam in their eye and smiles on their faces, and there's a reason for it...Pat Fitzgerald hasn't been digging for two years and judges haven't been sending reporters to jail because...

Gomer Pyle served honorably. Lou Costello and Bill Murray did their part in Buck Privates and S*T*R*I*P*E*S *. And one could mention Audie Murphy, Alvin York, and Mad Anthony Wayne -- heroes all. And then there's George W. Bush -- that handsome fellow in the dashing Air National Guard uniform -- smiling at the world from that now famous photograph. That snapshot is going to make the history books. And he's got the liberals to thank for it. Really -- it's enough to make a honest-to-goodness progressive cry, a radical lib grimace in pain, and any through-and-through Democrat upchuck. As...

Here is a site I located, seems to me that all of the problems he talks about are a direct result of the community of his peers. Seems he is still continuing the blame anyone but me liberal democratic crowd. ------------------- The Scar Spangled Banner by Brother Blanks Oh say can "YOU" see, our neighborhood's in misery and how un-proudly we stare, at the crack pipe's red glare. Of our hoods you've made a new plantation through the planting of guns and crack rocks; pre-conditioned as your victims of history, now we slave to this new trade while our slave...
