After weeks of backtracking on his pledge to meet unconditionally with the leaders of Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba, Sen. Barack Obama has doubled down on his dangerous foreign policy naiveté, telling the Orlando Sentinel yesterday that not only would he have no pre-conditions for the meetings, he wouldn’t even have an agenda. Speaking of a future meeting with Venezuelan dictator, and soon to be internationally recognized terrorist supporter, Hugo Chavez, Obama said that whatever Hugo would want to talk about would be just fine with him. **** I would be willing to initiate such talks with leaders...

I didn’t believe this story when people first started emailing about it; but sure enough, its true. Dunkin Donuts, the venerable old fried dough seller, is the latest American firm to casually promote the symbol of Palestinian terrorism and the intifada, the kaffiyeh: Dunkin’ Breakfast Choices.

We live in an age of cognitive dissonance, of inverted values and of true Orwellian doublethink. The Left believes in, amongst other things, gay rights, women's rights and rehabilitation for thieves while also offering moral support to radical Islam, which hangs gays, stones errant women to death and chops the hands off thieves. On the Right, we stand in bewilderment wondering why nobody has learned the lessons of the evil of socialism throughout the last century or understands the threat of totalitarianism in this one. Given all of this topsy turvey-ness it seems to me that we need some sort...

Bo (woof) In Commentary: I’ve always known that mice can’t read, but this story makes me wonder whether the same is true of cats. (A cat chasing a mouse in Tirana’s main power station caused a 72-hour blackout across parts of the Albanian capital, the electricity company said on Friday (local time). “A cat and a mouse ran into the high-voltage cables,” a company spokeswoman said, showing pictures of the electrocuted animals.) What part of the DANGER - High Voltage sign did Mittens not understand? (con't @ http://boknowsonline.com/2008/05/21/442/#more-442 )

In an effort to publicize the plight of Tibet, the Dalai Lama protests the Beijing Olympics by wearing a hat imported from China.

If you read yesterday's DUmmie FUnnies EDITION about how the KOmmies fear a deadlocked Democrat convention, these fears were raised by a Rachel Maddow report on how Hillary can achieve this. Well, today we shall analyze Maddow's own HUffington POst BLOG titled "Clinton to the Convention?" in which she lays out in detail the nightmare that is now facing the Democrats. That nightmare for Democrats is also entertainment for the rest of us so let us now watch the HUffies face the prospect of Hillary ruining that party in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering...

[Note: The following rant is addressed to those Americans who consider themselves to be Conservatives. Of course, they are not; they believe that individual Liberty is the ultimate value, which makes them Liberals. (American "liberals" are likewise misnamed, and are actually socialists.) True Conservatives hold Duty to be the highest value, not Liberty. — BL] My dear American conservatives:You have cried out, and I have heard you. As the Obama juggernaut rolls on, and as the Republican Party flounders to field as a viable candidate a man who one advocated granting amnesty to foreign invaders of our country, cries of...

Democrat Dirty Laundry SPIN CYCLE: On the Campaign Trail, Democrats Promised to Severe Ties with Special Interests House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): "We are committed to immediate change to lead this country in a new direction, to put an end to business as usual, and to make certain this nation's leaders serve the people's interests, not special interests."

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis student Keith Sampson was charged with “racial harassment” when he was spotted reading Todd Tucker’s “Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan” while on break from his job as a janitor. The charge, since dropped after being widely criticized as “idiotic,” was filed by Affirmative Action Office of the university. The affirmative-action officer, who asked that her name be withheld, explained her action. “The fact that the book may have been anti-racist is not the point,” She said. “The fact that he was reading in itself is what is...

...Just the floppers above represent a net of 20 Supers for Clinton OR a 40 delegate swing. Furthermore, have Supers become so beholden to the DNC that they no longer remember that their loyalty is to their constituent first; or is it just about money. If I were on the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee I would start dumping huge amounts of money into the districts above and start running the commercials...

No, not why is she carrying on despite all odds. Nor why, in some quarters, both conservative and liberal, she seems to inspire such mean-spiritedness. I'm curious as to why so many of her congressional colleagues -- including those who serve with her on various committees, work together on legislation, whose two-term president husband brought the Democrats back from permanent opposition -- why they went against her, and in many cases so quickly. Like six-term Sen. Chris Dodd, for example, an early contender who during his run derided Obama's thinness of qualifications.More recently, what did Sen. Robert Byrd not see...

SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- Todd Davis has dared criminals for two years to try stealing his identity: Ads for his fraud-prevention company, LifeLock, even offer his Social Security number next to his smiling mug. Now, LifeLock customers in Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia are suing Davis, claiming his service didn't work as promised and he knew it wouldn't, because the service had failed even him. Attorney David Paris said he found records of other people applying for or receiving driver's licenses at least 20 times using Davis' Social Security number, though some of the applications may have been...

Please COPY (don't link, it uses my bandwidth) and circulate. Jewish Democrats need to see exactly the kind of people who support Obama, and whose support Obama solicits.

Today in History - among other events, the Truman Doctrine is brought into effect, affirming that America would defend the interests of Greece and Turkey to prevent the two states from falling into Soviet control. Wiki The Truman Doctrine is typically viewed as a grand extension of Roosevelt's Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, and one of of the final bricks in transfroming the US military from a reactionary local force into the long arm of international law. The Truman Doctrine is also, historically, one of the major reasons the US was determined to win the Cold War. An Excerpt: I...

The city of Chicago is one of the few major metropolitan areas which runs away from its past at every opportunity. Yet, indeed, the very construction of the city led to the term "underworld." And with rampant corruption controlled by infamous individuals like "Big Jim" Colosimo, Al Capone, Paul "The Waiter" Ricca, Murray "The Camel" Humphrey and Tony "Joe Batters" Accardo, Chicago can hardly bury its past--no pun intended. Since the turn of the 20th century, what Carl Sandburg referred to as the "City of Big Shoulders" was perhaps the center of organized crime in the United States. Though New...
