    McCotter Blasts Obama on Iran: Her Name was Neda

    Sunday, June 28th, 2009

    Remember when liberals liked to pretend they were the defenders of human rights? Then came Iran and Neda. Honestly, I wish Hillary was President. At least she’s tough.

    RIP Michael Jackson: They Don’t Really Care About Us

    Thursday, June 25th, 2009

    Man, I loved this guy’s music. I was young enough to come of age during the Dangerous album. I loved it, then went backwards and bought Bad, Thriller, Off The Wall, etc. What a sad day. Farrah Fawcett sort of got over-shadowed today, which is a shame, but no one is bigger than MJ. He [...]

    Rally for Iran in Iowa City

    Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

    ANNOUNCEMENT FROM IRANIAN STUDENTS IN IOWA CITY SENT BY YASHAR VASEF
    ———————————————————————————–
    We urge all Iranian-American citizens to set political preferences aside and come to a mourning rally this Thursday for those innocent people brutally killed in the violence in Iran. We strongly feel the Iranian community can take a stronger initiative and stand side by [...]

    Come on, CNN

    Saturday, June 20th, 2009

    I keep hearing excuses from CNN that they regret they cannot bring us actual news from Iran (despite the fact that they have correspondents there), because the government has shut them out. We call family there whenever we want and ask them what they have seen, etc. It really is pretty simple.
    And now they are [...]

    It’s Official: Roger Maris is Still “The Man”; And so is Andre Dawson

    Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

    Sammy Sosa is the latest in the line of baseball superstars linked with drug use (I say “linked” only because at the time it is only a leaked story that purports that he failed a test - although I have no reason to doubt it, I will stay with “linked” until there is more information).
    So [...]

    It Would Be Nice if Obama Would Speak Up on Iran

    Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

    I’m not asking him to take sides in the election. He does not need to go as far as McCain requested and declare the whole thing a sham, but he can definitely use this opportunity to support the reformists and take the Ayatollah to the woodshed for the lack of basic rights for the citizens [...]

    Still Going Strong in Iran

    Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

    Update: Everyone needs to go to this site and see the pictures. #17 especially.
    Update #2: To hell with it. Here it is (AP has copyright):

    Go see it in context at the link above. See it large there, too. This photo should win some type of award. Unbelievable.
    Original post:
    Mother-in-law spoke with grandmother-in-law who still lives in [...]

    Video of Iranian Protests: “Election” 2009

    Saturday, June 13th, 2009

    Update #2 - 6/14/2009 @ 9:30 a.m. CST: Michael Totten has a great article up about the current violence. He has some of the same videos I have below.
    The BBC says clashes between demonstrators and police in Tehran are the most violent in a decade.
    Video below shows a human wave of demonstrators chasing frightened police [...]

    I Get Emails

    Friday, June 12th, 2009

    Brian used to report on emails now and again, and I’ll do the same thing. I got this from SteveMaloneyGOP, a self-described member of the GOP. I think this is ridiculous.
    I imagine you’ve heard about David Letterman’s offensive and degrading comments about Sarah Palin and her 14-year-old daughter Willow. Among other things, Letterman called [...]

    No One Trusts Selena Roberts

    Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

    Couldn’t have happened to a bigger idiot.
    Remember that tell-all book about A-Rod?
    Just a month after making headlines with its allegations that the New York Yankees star likely used steroids as far back as high school, Selena Roberts’ “A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez” has vanished from best seller lists.
    Published in early May by HarperCollins [...]

    Obama’s Hypocrisy on Bagram

    Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

    What’s the difference between the Bagram Air Force base holding enemy combatants in Afghanistan and the Guantanamo Naval Base holding enemy combatants in Cuba? Well, Obama thinks the guys in Cuba deserve habeas corpus rights, but that the guys in Afghanistan do not (personally, I don’t think any of them deserve habeas corpus rights, but [...]

    Cheney Correct on Gay Marriage

    Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

    Finally:
    Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday he supports gays being able to marry but believes states, not the federal government, should make the decision.
    “I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone,” Cheney said in a speech at the National Press Club. “I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind [...]
