We all know the amnesty's gonna be shoved down our throats. But will the powers that be christen it the Kennedy Amnesty of 2009, thereby cementing his horrible legacy on this country? The timing is almost sickening; it'll further glamorize this whole deal.

If you want William Rivers Pitt to change his mind about most anything, just wait a little while. Pitt has a history of making bold authoritative declarations only to recant them completely, sometimes in much less than 24 business hours. Such is the case with his most recent in a long series of recantations. Just a couple of weeks ago, Pitt put forth with the absurd observation that the long drawn out Democrat primary race was a BLESSING. Well, that was then and this is now. And now the Pied Piper has either forgotten his original long-winded proclamation or...

An enthusiastic all rhetoric, no substance, parrot repeats over and over again, “Obama! Yes we can!” ...

Today, at one past midnight, I have seen the latest Indiana Jones movie. Like many among you, I presume, I was a fan of that American raider travelling all over the world to look for treasures. A BIG warning : the latest Indy is absolutely AWFUL. This is the worst thing you can imagine. Actors are nuts, there are so many special effects even when Spielberg said he wouldn't use them, the screeplay is ridiculous. This is a nightmare, and I really encourage fans to boycott it. This is a shame, far away from the original Indiana Jones trilogy. Even...

This is one seriously funny cartoon! If you're serious about keeping 100% of your stimulus money in America, then there are precious few places you can spend it to accomplish this. Check out this "Geeks on Caffeine" cartoon. You may not agree with how these "Economic Patriots" spend their money, but you can't argue they kept it in the U.S.! FUNNY!!!!!!

This is one movie that I have enjoyed as much as the trailer! As the end credits started to roll, my six-year-old (girl) popped up her head and loudly asked if I would buy the DVD. . . THE GUYS...ARE GUYS! They are not "juiced up" thirty-somethings with sculpted muscles and steroids to match, nor are they psychologically tortured, identity-challenged, oversexed teenagers. They are young males who are not afraid to spill some blood when necessary for the greater good. . . THE GIRLS...ARE GIRLS! . . . [T]he usual "girl empowerment" pomposity that almost universally plagues today's child actresses...

Check out the debate at the link. I think Wayne hit it out of the ballpark and I hate to say it, but Mike made me actually cheer a few times as well. I think Mike is acting and trying to fit in with the Libertarians though, because during his debates with the Democrats last year, he was much more Liberal.

The United States Senate rejected a Republican proposal to open one-hundredth of one-percent of the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil exploration. Fifty Democrats were joined by a half-dozen Republican senators in the 56 to 42 vote against the measure. “Preserving the frigid sterility of this wilderness must take precedence over a scheme to feed Americans’ gluttony for energy,” asserted Debbie Dullerd of the Alaska Wilderness League. She characterized the need for fuel as “temporary.” “The human species won’t last forever,” Dullerd declared. “It makes no sense to place its interests ahead of the rest of the planet.” “If...

Osama vs Obama 20 May 2008 06:05 pm Well: one person agrees with Bush's and Cheney's and Lieberman's loathing of Iran. (he links to an external site, showing Osama's hatred of Iran.)

There's definitely something fishy about 25-year-old, Saudi, female, dissident blogger Hadeel Alhodaif's untimely death. Via the Arab News, we learn that Alhodaif "unexpectedly" fell into a coma and 25-days later, simply "passed away." But considering her legacy of activism, both within the blogosphere and without, and the fact that she insisted on blogging under her real name, it's more likely she was targeted for death by Saudi authorities. That she was a proponent of women's rights in this most backward of nations (and regions) is even more reason the enemies of progress would want her out of the way. The...

Fashion is bringing us pure art, and that includes footwear. Don’t be afraid to make a bold statement, and break the rules by wearing a pair of heels decorated with embroidery, jewels, studs, baubles, petals, bells, crystals and flowers. From surreal Marc Jacobs shoes to blooming Prada’s, this season’s designer heels have a Dali-esque feel about them. To read more

The government of Oppenao (Verona), Italy, refused to build a mosque and is about to build instead a plaza in honor of author Oriana Fallaci, Italy's La Republicca reports. On May 17, bulldozers destroyed the little building that was used as a preach room and which was thought by Oppenao's muslims to become a mosque. The Oppenao mayor told journalists his citizens didn't want the mosque and they supported the idea of honoring Fallaci instead. Oriana Fallaci is known for her fight against islam. She died of cancer in 2006.

"Former teacher Brian Presken, 32, was accused of using a mirror to look under a woman's skirt last summer at Barnes & Noble Booksellers on Airport Boulevard in Pensacola."Defense attorney Katheryne Snowden argued that the voyeurism charge should be dropped because Presken's accuser didn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place under Florida law. "The law under which Presken was charged states, 'It is illegal to secretly observe someone with lewd, lascivious and indecent intent in a dwelling, structure or conveyance, and when such locations provide a reasonable expectation of privacy.' "Snowden said the statute her client...

Catholic Church Chooses Wrong Side Again With the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE) raid in Postville, Iowa, and the resulting protests coming from the all too sanctimonious “religious”, maybe it is time to step back and take a look at what is behind these “do gooders” and “saviors” of the criminals crossing our boarders. First of all let's get this straight. An “illegal alien” is a criminal. This person is not misunderstood and needs to be cared for. They are not a pet. They are criminals that made a decision to break our laws when they came across...

The “Distraction” Defense, a central and crucial tenet of the Obama campaign strategy, has been invoked repeatedly over the last few weeks in a transparent attempt to shore-up a candidate who, with each passing day, is increasingly looking to be spectacularly unqualified for the Presidency. The frequency, as well as the vigor, with which the Defense has been raised recently, seem to vary inversely with the number and enormity of the gaffes the former community organizer has been making on the campaign trail lately. He lectures us that the threat a country poses to the United States is directly related...

J. D. Pendry, CSM(R) I am sure that you are at peace now that polar bears are a protected species. Maybe I am just a bit cynical, but I believe that as long as the seals are plentiful so will be the polar bears. I suppose I am not as brilliant as are Washington politicians. Their foresight is often breathtaking. Besides, should not the Darwin worshipers be talking to us about natural selection and the survival of the fittest? The polar bears are doing well, it seems, as their population has quadrupled over the years. If humans were doing as...

With a white mop of hair, crisp button-down shirt and tie, fake eyelashes aside, Marc Jacobs is transformed into fabled pop art Andy Warhol in Interview magazine’s June-July double issue.
