Dutch are learning

The Dutch government has vowed to take tough action against Islamic radicalism after the murder of a film maker. Theo van Gogh, the director of a movie criticising the treatment of women under Islam, was shot and stabbed in Amsterdam on Tuesday. I know someone else had been blogging this, unfortunately, the posts are no […]

Elizabeth Edwards

When it is all said and done, it is just politics, it taint personal. I completely disagree with Mr Edwards, and some of what Elizabeth has said. However, I would like to send my most heartfelt wishes to Elizabeth Edwards and the whole Edwards family. God willing, everything will turn out all right. If you […]

The Rats Board the Good Ship Bush

So NOW the EU rats want back on board the USS Bush: BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — European Union leaders will present a reconstruction aid package to Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi on Friday, as the bloc seeks a fresh start with U.S. President George W. Bush after bitter internal divisions over Iraq. Well, that didn’t […]

“I shoulda gone to America”

Could be that the reason they do not know what is wrong with Arafat is that he is still sitting in the socialist paradises waiting room.

My Buddies at the Guardian

Bunch of sore losers. And it ‘taint even their election. So, as they say in jolly old England, they can piss off. “I am deeply ashamed to call myself American,” wrote another, while, “I’m ashamed to be English,” countered a third, in a competitive orgy of shame. Lots of people talked about powerlessness. “And that,” […]

However, this has been strongly denied by officials in the West Bank. “President Arafat lost consciousness three times… The first two times […]

More on Arafat

Seems that the wonderbar French doctors have to perform more tests on Arafat. My sources tell me they are trying to find his heart. “He woke up in a good mood, in good shape after a real rest,” said PLO representative Leila Shahid in Paris. “He feels generally better, his general condition is better.” But […]

Avast: It Be That Tax Burden Thing Again

The dems are bring up that whole tax burden is on the middle class thing yet again. I posted this awhile back, but, hey, finding lost treasure. According to the CBO report, the top 20 percent of income earners would have paid 64.0 percent of federal taxes in 2004 without the Bush tax cuts. As […]

Usama Dislikes Ta-Rez-Ah

If you haven’t caught the Saturday Night Live UBL skit, you missed a good one. Hopefully, someone will post the video today. However, Watcher of Weasels was nice enough to post the transcript. On the whole, if you ask my opinion, I don’t see much difference between the two candidates, although, and I will probably […]

Oh, Al Queda WAS behind 9/11

From Country Store: And now, perhaps, Reuters will stop referring to Al Qaeda as the group the Bush administration “claims” is responsible for 9/11. But I won’t hold my breath. I was thinking the same for the “9/11 was a Jewish/Mossad/CIA/Neocon/Bush plot” crowd, but he’s right – it won’t even be a speed bump for […]
