Flying The Surly Skies

Via the New York Times (hey, a broke clock is right twice a day): Delta Air Lines and the union representing its 6,000 pilots reached a tentative agreement on pay concessions yesterday, averting a threatened strike that could have driven the carrier, which is already operating in bankruptcy, out of business. Best time to fly […]

France Surrenders. Nothing To See, Move Along

Gateway Pundit has all the details. The poll said that it is all Bush’s fault, though. Anyhoo, the surprising thing is that it took this long for the French Gov’t to surrender. More on the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys (as opposed to the Bush Seething Surrender Monkeys in the USA) here. Has anyone checked to […]

More On Illegal Immigration

Alternet is saying that all “progressives” should sheeple along and support these illegals (via Michelle Malkin) Some have called the demonstrations a backlash against the backlash. Others believe it is the beginning of an international populist uprising connected with the leftist movements of many Latin American nations. Whatever it is, it is gaining momentum across […]

Don’t Take Drugs, Get Suspended

This is what happens in a nanny state system: The case of a 12-year-old Longueuil boy suspended from school when his mother refused to give him Ritalin has sparked concerns over who is in charge of the medicine cabinet. Do parents have the right to say “no” when their child’s school says they need prescription drugs? “Absolutely, […]

Poll: Most Open To letting Illegals Stay?

Once A Commie, Always A Commie

Iraqi documents released as part […]

Giving Pirate’s A Bad Name

Realistically, beyond the fun and games, pirates are not good people. Sure, they look cool in the movies, and you can make some great graphics, and have fun going “arrrhhh” and “Avast!” Pirate’s even had a Code they went by back in the 1800’s and earlier. Some were even very smart, and started out as […]

Bilateral Sanction On Iran

Not unilateral? You mean we aren’t going it alone? Oh, wait, we are. Just another failed Bush policy, right? President George W. Bush issued an executive order on Monday that continued U.S. oil and other economic sanctions against Iran in effect since 1995, saying Tehran’s policies posed a threat. Bush, in a notice to Congress […]

French Police Use Tear Gas: Libazoids Unimpressed

Can you imagine the outcry if this happened in the United States? French riot police used teargas on Saturday to break up a protest at Paris’s Sorbonne university, which students had occupied to press the government to abandon its youth jobs plan, police and witnesses said. Students had occupied the prestigious university, which was at […]

WTW: It’s Abortion, Not Choice

Morning, y’all, Jebediah here. I reckon y’all know how interesting it is to watch the little seething Surrender Monkeys have hissy fits, especially at places like the Demoratic Underground. Right now, they are having their little hissy fit over the South Dakota abortion law. You, know, that law that makes it illegal to chose to […]
