WTW: Noks Threaten War?

Morning, y'all, Jebediah here. Ya know, there is a series of books by Jack McDevitt which mention a race of aliens called the Noks, who are very aggressive and perpetually at war, depleting their resources and killing off each other. Funny, because there are some Noks here on Earth, who are war like, agressive, and […]

Kyra Phillips Goes Top Ten

[gv data=”s7UAS-7YtJ4″][/gv] Well, you have to admit that she is taking it well. She could have gone all wonky, or gotten a sense of humor. She did the latter. Good for her! Of course, while Michelle puts this under Blogger Happy Hour, on reflection, you have to wonder what a supposed "journalist" was doing hitting […]

CNN Takes A Potty Break

Seriously, this was funny (h/t Indian Chris) [gv data=”dp7QhEeQF_o”][/gv] Woops! Aw, well, everyone makes miskates. However, I bet Kyra Phillips' sister in law won't be pleased (transcript from Newsbusters): Phillips: "..Brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I’ve got to be protective of him…Yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is […]

Hurricane John To Devastate Baja (?)

Or so the front page headline would make one think  Click for full size. It says "Hurricane headed to baja could be category 4. But, what does the actual story say? John became the sixth Pacific hurricane of the season earlier in the day and quickly grew in strength with maximum sustained winds reaching 115 […]

Katrina 1/5 Insensitivity

Today is the one year anniversary of Katrina. Now, perhaps many may find this insensitive, and take me to task, but, I think the media and the lefties, often one and the same, are over doing the issue. And, we know why. PPP. Petty partisan politics. Blame Bush. BDS. The media never made a huge […]

Thongs Greet Obama As He Goes All Photo Op

So, when United States Of America President George W. Bush goes to see the troops in Iraq on Thanksgiving, the press terms that a phony photo op. When W went to New Orleans on multiple occassions, particularly at the request of "Chocolate City" Nagin, the press called those visits photo ops. You know, because the […]

WTW: Remembering the Other Side

Morning, y’all, Jebediah here. And, I have a serious subject for this Wednesday. Journalistic responsibility. Now, I reckon I won’t beat this to death, but, I want to run this by folks. We in the right-o-sphere are constantly talking about the bias, spin, and sometimes, outright lies that come from the mainstream media. Yet, on […]

Where Are The Israeli Soldiers?

There are lots of whiny stories in the MSM and the Left-O-Sphere about Israel breaking the cease fire (there is no maybe or might have's from them.) But, are there any stories out there about the kidnapped Israeli soldiers, who still have not been returned? I wonder what the families of the soldiers have to […]

Beer Monday Linkfest: Seymour Hersh Imbides

And a happy start of the work week. Time for a brew!  [gv data=”sl3fCZuZ9nY”][/gv] And, based on this story, Seymour Hersh is well ahead of us (from the New Yorker) In the days after Hezbollah crossed from Lebanon into Israel, on July 12th, to kidnap two soldiers, triggering an Israeli air attack on Lebanon and […]

Beruit Marathon. In Sandals

Consider. This is the al-Reuters photo I changed a wee bit for a lark on Monday: Running in sandals. But, let's see the AP version: Kinda funny how cameramen from both the AP and al-Reuters happened to be in the same place at the same time to capture the only person out in this bombed out […]
