    John Kerry Hates YOU, Soldier

    Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

    What a moron. Even if you believe it to be true, how do you let yourself say it? The best part is his “defense.” It makes even less sense than his original statement.
    To a group of students, via Reuters:
    While campaigning in California, Kerry told a college crowd on Monday: “You know, education, if you make [...]

    ABC News: Celebs Talk Politics, Then Get Smacked Down

    Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

    Great article about celebrity blowhards making stupid comments and then getting smacked down. You know, I’ve smacked down more than my fair share of celebrity morons on this blog. I’ve even compiled my list of links into two handy posts.

    Celebrities Who Need to Be Re-Educated

    Check them out. You’ll love all the links and the [...]

    Minimum Wage Reality

    Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

    I’ve seen a lot of yard signs over the past week or so stating things like “Raise the Minimum Wage.” Being an election year, and considering the fact that Bruce Braley (D) is running for the 1st Congressional District in Iowa with one of his high priority issues being raising the minimum wage, I’m not [...]

    Whalen and Braley in the Op-Eds

    Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

    Today, the QC Times ran a plethora of Op-Eds about Mike Whalen (R) and Bruce Braley (D), the two candidates for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District for the House of Representatives. A few of them were just too dishonest and/or ridiculous to pass up.

    “Whalen Focuses on Green, Not Greater Good.” Here’s the gist of the piece: [...]

    Voter ID Law in Ohio and Bush v. Gore

    Friday, October 27th, 2006

    A voter ID law has been suspended in Ohio by a federal judge… The hypocrisy kills me.
    A federal judge suspended Ohio’s new voter identification law Thursday as it applies to absentee voting, saying the state’s 88 counties are inconsistently applying the rule in the voting, which is already under way.
    That’s an Equal Protection problem. You [...]

    "Mexican Leader Compares Border Fence to Berlin Wall"

    Thursday, October 26th, 2006

    That’s the headline screaming at me from Yahoo!
    One problem:
    The Berlin Wall was built by oppressors trying to keep its impoverished citizens in.
    The border fence is built by a nation trying to keep illegals out.
    The first attempted to prevent people from lawfully leaving their own country and entering a new country that would readily accept them [...]

    The Arab Problem in Africa

    Thursday, October 26th, 2006

    The country of Niger has begun the massive expulsion of nomadic Arabs living within its borders.
    Niger’s government has expelled a number of Arabs, mostly nomads with their animals, after escorting them to the border with Chad. Local governor Umaru Yacuba told the BBC that it was implementing in earnest a controversial decision to expel the [...]

    Democrat Joe Biden on the Today Show

    Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

    I thought this was funny. Democratic Senator Joe Biden was on the Today Show this morning. He bitched and moaned about the Iraq War and said that if Democrats were elected, there would be a change (no timetable, though!). Then Meredith Vieira, in looking at the poll numbers, stated to Senator Biden that the polls [...]

    New York Times Reaping What They’ve Sowed

    Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

    First, New York Times public editor retracted his initial defense of the New York Times’ decision to blow the cover off the US banking data surveillance program. The editor stated:

    My July 2 column strongly supported The Times’s decision to publish its June 23 article on a once-secret banking-data surveillance program. After pondering for several months, [...]

    Howard Dean on Gas Prices

    Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

    This is from last May, but I just saw it. It’s absolutely ridiculous. They say Bush has fuzzy math?
    NORAH O’DONNELL, GUEST HOST, “HARDBALL”: What is it that the Democrats can do about high gas prices that the Republicans can’t?
    HOWARD DEAN, DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN: We can do a lot. The first thing we would [...]

    Culture of Corruption: Don’t Buy the Hype

    Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

    From Taxpayers for Common Sense:
    The scandals surrounding disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and criminal congressmen Bob Ney (R-OH) and Duke Cunningham (R-CA) have, for good reason, been the front-burner stories of congressional corruption for the better part of the past year…
    With business-as-usual appropriators at the helm, even the most horrid examples of earmarking graft have done [...]

    BYU Professor Who Claims 9/11 Was Faked to Retire

    Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

    Nice guy. He did a paper that claims the US brought down the Twin Towers.
    Not much to say, here, other than after BYU put him on leave he wrote a letter defending himself and in the process ripped the Iraq War and the Administration and said the US may “blame” future attacks on Iran or [...]
