Contrary to Cheshire’s implication — it doesn’t matter how drunk you get, or how many drunken friends you’re […]

My local House Congressional Critter, Brad Miller, has officially joined the ranks of Moonbat De Jure with his postings over at the Daily Kosbat. In his most current moonbattery, apparently he needs to justify that he and Markos are just good friends. Actually quite amusing. I thought the Democrats were tolerant of homosexual conduct (which […]

Yesterday, I discussed NC Rep Charles Taylor blocking money for the Flight 93 Memorial. Lemuel Calhoon of Hillbilly White Trash brings up an interesting point. The proposed memorial will honor the memory of the hijackers as well as the victims. The thing will be shaped like a giant Islamic crescent. Deal with those problems and […]
