Brooker and Free Speech

Having perused many forums and chatboards at blogs about Mr Brooker, I have seen many a post from are Liberal friends, some of which are saying that what Brooker wrote was “Free Speech.” Well, Nay, it tis not. First of all. you have to be a US Citizen or a guest in our lovely country […]

Mr. Booker, Meet the USSS

And the bad news just keeps flowing for Mr. Booker and the Guardian (hat tip Drudge) Washington D.C.’s Secret Service is investigating Charlie Brooker of the UK Guardian. The entertainment writer’s weekend, anti-Bush tantrum, ending with the words, “John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr.–where are you now that we need you,” was […]

Ye Olde Hit(e) Countere

Wow. Being a sort of lower middle class folk in he Ecosystem, almost a full time air breather, to get 984 page views in a day is fantastic, with the vast majority coming after 8pm. Not bad for a Sunday. I would like to thank the great folks over at Powerline for the initial referal, […]

Wonderful People at the Guardian

So glad that some of the crazy Brits can chime in on US elections (yes, I know not all Brits are like this.) “On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world […]

So terrorists ARE streaming into Iraq

Terrorists, oh, excuse me, insurgents, are just coming to Iraq from everywhere: A French citizen has been identified among insurgents killed by US forces in Iraq, a French newspaper reports. The 19-year-old, named as Redouane, is said to have died in a US air raid on Falluja on 17 July, says Le Figaro. He is […]

So You Want to Be a Hammas Leader?

With all the leaders in Hammas, Hezbollah, etc, that Israel has wacked over the last 5 months or so, what is one more? Hamas say one of the men killed was Adnan al-Ghoul, a senior figure in the organisation’s military wing. Adnan al-Ghoul had been on Israel’s wanted list for over 15 years and had […]

Capitulation doesn’t work

Captain Ed has a good article about the 7 terrorists caught in Spain recently. They were planning to blow up the Spanish High Court. So much for electing an anti-Iraq War government and pulling a cut-n-run from Iraq. This is why you give terrorists zip. Nada. Ziltch. Like a bad horror movie, they come back. […]

Bruce needs Valium. Lots

Video of Bruce Springsteen going, well, standard Liberal insane. I wonder if the Boss has taken lessons from Al Gore or Howard Dean? (hat tip to QandO)

Brave Soldiers

Isn’t it funny how stories like this rarely make it to the MSM? FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — George Perez lost his leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq more than a year ago, but despite the phantom pains that haunt him, he says he is determined to prove to the Army that he is […]

Blix and the WMD

Captain Ed has a post regarding Hans Blix and his prewar reports on Iraqi WMD (The Captain gives a hat tip to Secure Liberty.) Blix himself reported back to the UNSC that Saddam was not cooperating — which made the inspections pointless. Inspections can only confirm compliance; they cannot reliably determine locations and stocks of […]
