 CNN Apologizes for X on Cheney's Face(CNN & the "X" over Cheney: keeping alive a lie)

CNN's Big Mistake

Bill Quick at Daily Pundit has a report on CNN’s airing of an ‘X’ over live video of Vice President Cheney—including an audiotape that, if verified, is a real bombshell.  Michelle Malkin was all over this yesterday. 

Remember the CBS van with a "the only bush I trust is my own" sign in the window?

 Poles on ramparts of EU culture war

 Slayings push death toll over last year's total 2 men shot in S.F.'s Western Addition -- Spare me the outrage. These are the same stupid, brain-dead libs who voted to ban private gun ownership. With that message they sent, they declared San Franciso a Become A Victim Zone...  Now only outlaws have guns in the lost City ...  Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

VDH: The Crying Game

Victor Davis Hanson continues to bring his considerable intellect to bear on the bizarre defeatism and lunacy that characterizes the modern “progressive” movement and their enablers in the Democratic Party: The Crying Game.   link: 69 comments

 VDH's explanation is good, but Nelson Ascher provided the best possible explanation of leftist moonbattery (especially with regard to the War). The leftists of the world are the "Berlin Wall Orphans." They have never forgiven the United States for winning the cold war against the Soviet Union.

 France: The Cost of Multiculturalism -- The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions, whom we shall welcome to participate in all of our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment. -- George Washington.

Did Anyone Else Get One Of These?

Stephanie Matteis of CBC's The National e-mailed James Bow;

Hi James,

I'm hoping you can help?

I'm looking for someone who was going to vote Conservative in the last election but changed their minds along the way because they were scared, freaked out or worried about the Conservatives, the Conservative agenda or its leader. So, instead, they voted Liberal. Now you're facing the same dilemma this time. If this describes you AND you are willing to travel for a couple of days next month AND you are willing to appear on television then please get in touch immediately.

If this doesn't describe you, please feel free to forward this email to someone you feel might fit this description.

Thanks.


I suppose it's possible the invites to those who were "going to vote Liberal in the last election but changed their minds along the way because they were disgusted, insulted or angry about the Liberals, the Liberal lack of agenda or Mr Dithers" are still in the mail qeue...

h/t Bob Tarantino, who didn't get one, either.

Vanderleun: Midtown Manhattan Madness

At American Digest, Gerard Vanderleun turns in an amusing and pointed report on a certain event that took place last week in New York City: Midtown Manhattan Madness.

I poked around and found this essay, all Lizardoids might find particularly fascinating:

Vanderleun: The Sacrifice and the Reckoning

Even better than "The Sacrifice and the Reckoning: The Event" is the first article in the series:

The Sacrifice and the Reckoning: Sleepwalking

I, too, am anxiously looking forward to Part 3.

SCALIA RAPS GORE FOR '00 (USSC Justice says Gore people forced election 2000 into courts)
-- Really, at the end of the day it all comes down to this. Gore lost a close election, but unlike others who had lost close elections in the past, Gore refused to accept the results and exploited known flaws in our election system to try and overturn the result. Nixon could have done what Gore did, but chose not to for the good of the country. Gore simply refused to do so based upon his belief that he was entitled to power. In doing so, Gore announced the new democrat strategy for every election, namely, to never accept any result that didn't elect a democrat.

 Bali mourners were terror target -- 
You hurt us bombing Bali, well we can take the pain
But if you think you'll beat us you can think a-bloody-gain
We battled at Gallipoli and we fought the bloody Hun,
Of all the arseholes we've had to face you're just another one

You won't get your hands dirty, you won't fire a gun,
Whenever danger threatens you just pack your bags and run
You brainwash innocent children to do your evil deeds
Be careful you don't let them know just where it really leads

You get them to believe all of your bigotry and lying
Until they cannot see there's no glory in their dying.
Now, we'd like to pose a question, answer if you can,
Where does your holy book tell you to kill your fellow man?

Now listen hard and listen well, we're giving you the word
You're never going to beat us, you spineless bloody turd
You'd never face us personally, you haven't got the guts
You know that if you ever did, we'd have your bloody nuts.

Our spirit is unbroken, and our heads are still unbowed
We sure as hell aren't scared of you and of your gutless crowd
So... get your act together... you'll never win because
What you're really up against is The Spirit That Is Oz!

Bali didn't beat us, and we knew you'd try again
But once again, we're telling you we'll take the bloody pain
Your bombing killed some people and you think you've made a stand
Well, let me tell you something 'bout the people of my land

We went ashore on ANZAC day, near 90 years ago
Our people went to war with Turks who share your faith, you know.
Today, the Turks and us are friends because we understand
That killing for religion isn't something our God planned.

Be clear that we will fight you, and we will defeat your kind
If we need to, we will crush you and leave none of you behind
We are not the kind of people, who go 'round starting fights
But we'll help to finish them, and we will stand up for our rights

And we do not stand alone, there's Yanks and there is Brits
We stood with them, they'll stand with us, to wipe out all you shits
There's others too, of course, you've bitten off more than you'll chew
But we'll stuff it down your throats, and then we'll kick the crap from you.

We're not afraid of you, you see, no matter how you hope
We'll back down when the last of you is swinging from a rope
Or lying bleeding in a ditch, or shot down on a beach
If I were you, I'd start running - but there's nowhere we won't reach

You bombed our embassy, but you don't care who you killed
You're mad at us, but it's Indonesian graves that you have filled
You can't even kill properly, so you haven't got a prayer
And when you die, there will not be a paradise waiting there

It was said before, but you didn't learn, so I'll say it again
You cannot hope to beat us, because we will take the pain
You don't scare us, you mongrel dogs, you pigs, you unclean swine
Us Aussies still possess the spirit that was at Lone Pine

At Ypres, and then at the Somme, and at Villers Bretonneux
At Tobruk, and at Kokoda, and wherever enemies were
At Kapyong, and at Long Tan, and at places with no name
The Spirit That Is Oz has really always been the same

You're scum, you're filth, you're evil, and you are on borrowed time
If you want to be martyrs, then we will oblige you, slime
And we're not alone, remember that, we've stood up with our mates
And they will stand with us, as we send you to your fates

"Stop Poisoning Our Neighborhoods"

Jihad comes to Oakland. The surveillance video is absolutely chilling.  Media bias covers up the nature of the incident. KTVU has a big report on the incident, and nowhere in the entire article do the words "Muslim" "Black" "Black Muslim" "Islam" etc. appear. Just "well-dressed young men" vandalizing a store...This story calls these violent criminals “well-dressed vandals,” without mentioning the very obvious resemblance of their suits and bow ties to the outfits worn by followers of the Nation of Islam.

Abotech: Getting Traction

The story we've been following at Angry In The Great White North over Liberal MP David Smith and Abotech has finally broken into print.

The Abotech Affair: The story goes into print

quepost.jpg

Julie Murray of the West Quebec Post has been in regular contact with this blogger over the last week, preparing a story on David Smith and the Abotech affair.  So go read the article

As for the role of bloggers, I hope this small example of the synergies that can exist between the new media and the traditional media inspires Canadians to look at bloggers in a new light. It is the sort of thing the folks at Open Source Media PajamasMedia meant when they talked about a "bridge between old media and new".

Comments (9) ::  What people are still waking up to is the power of the internet in politics and government business. You dug this story up from your computer in Ajax. Someone in Vancouver could have just easily done it.

Another Katrina Media Myth Bites The Bullet

Yesterday's Los Angeles Times reports that another myth of the Katrina hurrican and its aftermath has been exposed. The infamous "snipers on the bridge" incident that supposedly kept relief contractors from rescuing helpless victims turns out to have been a media-fueled urban legend, according to witnesses--

Drilling into a slick subject
 
 Congress demands cheaper fuel, higher pay for themselves -- Congress stopped working for the people of this country a long time ago. It is a dysfunctional country club now, floating on a sea of politics, while America burns.
 
 Race is on for backup fuels -- We need to drill sufficient quantities of oil from our own sources -- IMMEDIATELY -- enough to demonstrate to OPEC and the world that we are able and willing to go on without ANY oil from the Middle East, if necessary. I believe that we could get the first barrels of oil from Anwar within one year, and that safely, if Congress would put the right leash on the EPA and other bureaucracies. OPEC would then collapse in significance.
 Just drill for oil, research the alternatives, and build nuke plants. How hard is that?

More Details on Alleged Clash with Syrians

Hammorabi has a report from Iraq that backs up that (still unverified) DEBKAfile account of fighting between Syrian forces and US Marines. (Hat tip: Never Yet Melted.)

Daily Kos: The Unvarnished Truth

At Daily “Screw Them” Kos, Armando the Progressive accidentally reveals the truth about the left’s sick, twisted position on the Iraq War; they know that their cut and run “strategy” is going to lead to chaos and mass murder, but could not care less as long as they can bring down the Bush administration: Declaring Victory and Getting Out. (Hat tip: Ron.) 

Out here in Zombie Country (where Kos lives as well, btw), it is discussed quite openly: people want the "insurgents" to win, i.e. they want the fascists to re-take Iraq. How else to explain commonplace signs such as THIS and THIS?

It's no secret. Not around here at least. It's a two-fer: the wonderful Socialist (yes, they think that) Ba'athists back in the saddle, and Bush in the dustbin of history. What could be better?

It's also quintessentially Canadian, at least with this tired and incompetent Liberal Party in power.

What is it? It is the ridiculous manner in which tax policy regarding income trusts and dividents was being announced, changed, and leaked over the last week.

Since then, it has been full-scale panic as Ottawa dealt with all sorts of anger from all sorts of people -- market participants, industry executives, retail investors and pension funds.

And the final straw: "The government then tells a bunch of Bay Street insiders what it is going to do so they can profit. And then it does it. It's insane," added the banker.

Read the whole thing at Autonomous Source.

These are prudent fiscal managers? Unindicted leaders of a criminal cartel, more like.

 
 Sympathetic Vibrations (Non-partisan poll is bad news for anti-war dems) -- Expect more of these type polls and even encouraging news from Iraq, as the Democrats pull their party in line and make a wild desperate rush through the election campaigns next year to what they hope will be a build a major comeback to power.
