French say NON!

You heard it here first (or almost first: I got it posted before even Drudge): French voters rejected the European Union‘s first constitution Sunday, early government results showed — a stinging repudiation of the ambitious, decades-long effort to further unite the 25-nation bloc. With about 83 percent of the votes counted, the referendum was rejected […]

Looking for a Fatwa!

  Rusty at The Jawa Report is looking to get a Fatwa, and so am I. Here is my humble (sure) submission to the Karnival of the Koran Krapping. Pirate thong included at no extra charge.

An Illegal? You don’t say

McQ at Questions and Observations is discussing the do nothing 109th Congress. Read the whole thing, but let me excerpt this: While the 109th Congress is a case study in ineptitude, it could redeem itself and the Republican party by putting forth a comprehesive and workable border security provision. This next excerpt from WRAL should […]

Newsweak Responds

In the May 30th edition of Newsweak, Chairman and Editor in Chief Richard M Smith responds: As most of you know, we have unequivocally retracted our story. In the light of the Pentagon's denials and our source's changing position on the allegation, the only responsible course was to say that we no longer stand by […]

That killer Newsweak story

By now, most folks already know about the Newsweak story that is really killer. Literally. It is another example of the media not doing their jobs prior to publication. Now, one of the problems with today’s media is the need to get their story out fast. Otherwise, someone will scoop them, with all the outlets […]

A Frenchman involved in wrong doing? OMG

It just boggles the mind. One of Chirac’s buddies has been implicated in the Oil For Food scandal, that thing the Leftazoids wish would go away so that the US can hand over it’s security and military control to it. A longtime ally of French President Jacques Chirac and a leading British critic of the […]

Bugger off, ACLU

Somehow, the ACLU thinks that a North Carolina law from 1805 is "un-Constitutional." So, they have to get involved. Why? Because one lady lost her job working for the Pender County sheriff’s office. There are some 144,000 unmarried couples living together in North Carolina, and they are all breaking the law – a statute that […]

Potential GWB Assassination attempt?

Via Jeremy at the American Warmonger, comes a scary story: A device identified as a grenade was thrown within 100 feet of the stage where President Bush was giving a speech today in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, local authorities told the U.S. Secret Service. The device did not go off and no one […]

Runaway Bride: one and only post

This shall be my one and only post on the "Runaway Bride." To me, she did not appologize, what with having her lawyer read a statement, rather then her doing it. My 2 gold pieces, she needs to pay the costs of the search for her off, as well as do some community service, at […]

France having problems with EU treaty?

Sure seems like it. In a joint statement, President Jacques Chirac and Germany’s Gerhard Schroeder said the EU text, which faces growing opposition in France, marks a "major step" in Europe’s efforts to come together politically. The two leaders, who have long worked closely together, "reaffirmed their conviction that implementation of the constitutional treaty will […]
