US Secretly Probes financial records to track terrorists

June 25, 2006 – 7:19 pm

What is wrong with that headline? That is what was on Yahoo News.  The US government has secretly monitored banking transactions around the globe since the September 11, 2001 attacks, top officials said, defending the program as a "lawful" part of the war on terror. Well, it isn't secret anymore. Thanks, asshats. Or as Beth […]

A Positive USA Today Story On Iraq (?)

June 2, 2006 – 11:30 am

I’m dumbfounded. The editors must be asleep at the USA Today  A few things are inevitable as Iraq moves from the mild heat of winter into the stifling heat of summer: It will be hot. Electrical grids will whine under the increased demand of millions of air conditioners and air coolers. And Iraqis will eat […]

Life And Death Every Day!

May 10, 2006 – 4:22 pm

Found this old article about WWII Normandy, France (CNN) — “Don’t let me die! Please, don’t let me die,” the U.S. soldier said repeatedly as medics carried him to the trauma room. His glazed eyes focused on an Army chaplain kneeling over him. There was blood everywhere. A roadside bomb that exploded next to his […]

NY Times Defends Al-Zarqawi

May 6, 2006 – 8:24 pm

On the heels of this post, we get the NY Times’ response. Well, isn’t this special. And normal for the Times (h/t BigBadHowie): An effort by the American military to discredit the terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi by showing video outtakes of him fumbling with a machine gun — suggesting that he lacks real fighting skill […]

Poor Little Libs In The Press Corps

April 28, 2006 – 12:08 pm

How sad is this? During a briefing led by White House spokesman Scott McClellan as President Bush was traveling to New Orleans, Louisiana, the Washington Post’s Jim VandeHei asked why the White House televisions always seemed to be tuned to Fox News and if it was possible to have them tuned instead to CNN. “It’s […]

Trackback Monday: NY Times Tries the DSM

March 27, 2006 – 7:32 am

The Grey Lady, in a long, drawn out, convoluted article, takes the same BS information that some British Leftard sources have published and regurgitates it as new. US President George W. Bush made clear to British Prime Minister Tony Blair in January 2003 that he was determined to invade Iraq without a UN resolution and […]

SUV Was Chapel Hill Terrorist’s 2nd Choice

March 25, 2006 – 11:04 am

Will the NY Times cover this? (via the Raleigh News and Observer) A letter police found in Mohammed Taheri-Azar’s bedroom said he wanted to kill Americans but that driving a rented sport utility vehicle through a crowded campus plaza was not his first choice. With family members sitting behind the 22-year-old, sometimes crying on one […]

Aid Workers Freed In Iraq-Oh So Negative

March 23, 2006 – 12:42 pm

This is good news, though, of course, the Al-Reuters reporter, Alastair Macdonald, had to throw in a few negatives: U.S.-led forces freed three Christian peace activists held hostage in Iraq on Thursday in an operation mounted two weeks after the kidnappers tortured and killed their American colleague. Canadians Jim Loney, 41, and Harmeet Sooden, 32, and 74-year-old British […]

NY Times Goes Wonky. Yet Again

March 13, 2006 – 4:06 pm

Neal Boortz pointed out an article in the NY Slimes from the 8th regarding the Chapel Hill terrorist attack:  According to statements taken by the police, Mr. Taheri-azar, 22, an Iranian-born graduate of the university, felt that the United States government had been “killing his people across the sea” and that his actions reflected “an […]
