AJ (who has been on the Plame case from day one... for the truth without a political bent), gives analysis on the memo story I posted earlier: http://www.nysun.com/article/31062

Mumbles to self... hmmm... where's that pic of Newt kissing up to Hillary?
The point is why should one-third be Mexicans?

China: Too Many Men
60 Minutes does some real journalism, and exposes China’s Achilles Heel. China’s forced abortion, one-child policy has created a generation of men.

Groundswell Against Domestic Spying
Bush is in trouble now. The ACLU sponsored a debate over the NSA data-mining program with an Assistant US Attorney, and a whopping, humongous, indeed ginormous number of people showed up to tell that Bush lackey just what they thought of his siccing the NSA on terrorist phone calls.

Or, you know, not:
The chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office anti-terrorism task force found little support from an audience at the University of Houston-Downtown during a debate on warrantless wiretaps and the Patriot Act this week. Assistant U.S. Attorney Abran “Abe” Martinez faced questions from a half-dozen audience members Wednesday, nearly all critical of increased government powers of surveillance.
Read that second paragraph again. That is some classic framing. You get “little support from the audience” for the Bush position in the first graph, followed by the revelation that half a dozen people showed up for this big debate. Half a dozen. For you liberals out there, that’s six people. In Houston, a city of, what, about 3 million?
Surely there are more than six moonbats in a city of that size. The ACLU must have three or four times that number working in their own offices. But six people was all they could attract.
I would ask “What if the ACLU tried to gin up yet another anti-war rally but nobody came?” But I don’t have to, now.
Something I Didn't Know: Never Married Men Make 62 Cents to the Dollar of a Married Man
Links
http://qtmonster.typepad.com/
The March 2006 Issue of The Limbaugh Letter (Rush Limbaugh's newsletter) features an excellent interview of Kate O'Beirne of National Review. In the interview, Ms. O'Beirne talks about her new book, Women Who Make the World Worse, and mentions that never married men make 62 cents to the dollar of a married man. Why is that:
I don't think it's mere convention, Rush. I think employers find married men, given their responsibilities, to be more reliable.. As has been said, men show their devotion to their families by working hard. Women show their devotion to their families by showing devotion to their families. These men are no less devoted to their family than the woman who's staying home with children. But they express caring for their families by working as hard as they can and earning as much as they can. I think that's what employers recognize. They're steady, they're sober, they're reliable, owing to their family responsibilities.
Generals Gone Wild

Dwyer http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=5414 confront them with some awkward history.
A must-read from Jack Risko

Donny Boy (an alternative lyric to a favorite song)
Oh Donny boy, the snipes, the snipes are bawling,
From spin to spin, some generals now decide,
The war’s all wrong and for your head they’re calling,
‘Tis you, ‘tis you must go, they want your hide.
But guard your back from those now in the meadow,
From starry pundits claim they told you so.
To hype their books, they snipe you from the shadow,
Oh Donny boy, oh Donny boy, they hate you so.
And if you run when all the media’s lying,
Then truth is dead as dead the truth may be.
They’ll howl and hound you ‘til you are a’ dying,
And spiel an evil epitaph for thee.
And they will sneer no matter what befalls thee,
At all your dreams of sweetest victory,
For if you win they’ll still not ever love thee,
You’ll see no peace until Bush cuts you free.
Oh Donny boy, the snipes, the snipes are bawling,
From spin to spin, they’re crying for your hide.
Your war is lost is what the media’s calling,
‘Tis you must go, they want ol’ Rummy fried.
(With a tip a’ me hat to the gent who penned the original)
