Al-Zawahiri: US Should Talk to Al Qaeda?

So says the headline. Is this Yahoo News playing games, or was this the headline that the AP released?   Nowhere in the story could I find any indication that Al-Z stated that the U.S. should talk to Al Qaeda, and it looks like most who picked up the AP story aren't even going there. […]

Silly Muslims, Trying To Bomb Another Mosque

What is with Muzzies? They pitch a fit and riot over some cartoons, but have no problem attempting to damage or destroy a Mosque. You know, that holy place that they worship (from DefenseLink) Iraqi police were patrolling yesterday when they found an improvised explosive device near a Samarra mosque’s doorway. “This action by the […]

Leftards That Actually Moved To Canada

Over at MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, decked out in a format designed to keep liberal trolls from sticking around, Sir Martin finds an article about Lefties (the Druckers) actually following through in their promise to leave the US if Bush won reelection in 2004 MY WIFE AND I AWOKE, as usual, to NPR.

Quick Global Warming Post: Getting My Shovel And Hip Waders

More complete and utter misreported environmental news Bush pulled out of Kyoto in 2001, saying caps would cost jobs and the plan wrongly omitted targets for poor countries. You cannot pull out of something that you were never part of. The US Senate voted 95-0 on July 25th, 1997, against joining the Kyoto Protocol, which […]

And They Say Liberals Aren’t Weak On Terror

So why is this story not top billing on so many liberal news sites? Britain's spy chief has said authorities are tracking almost 30 terrorist plots to "kill people and damage our economy" and expressed concern over future terrorist attacks using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. MI5 Director Eliza Manningham-Buller said in a speech released […]

Rove’s The Big Loser (WTF?)

I don't remember the media discussing this about Democratic architects after they lost, well, most everything over the past 20+ years In January, Karl Rove, the president’s chief political strategist, gave a speech that epitomized his breezy confidence about the future for the party. Republicans had gone from being “a minority party with little influence […]

Media Rule of 3 #34,584: US Forces Killed Reporter

Are you aware of the Rule Of 3? That is where what the media wants you to know, what they want to portray, is in the first three paragraphs of a story. Why? Put simply, it is because people tend to either not read past paragraph three or skim the story past paragraph 3. And […]

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 […]
