In my state of Virginia that is — if one is to believe what a Democrat from the Peoples Republic of Arlington (Virginia; though it’s really Washington DC without the incompetence…) says about Jerry Kilgore, Republican candidate for governor. There is a piece in today’s Washington Post, which has a few points about the [...]

Schadenfreude
Posted in Uncategorized on September 29, 2005 | 1 Comment »
Well, Tom “The Hammer” DeLay is in the dock. Maybe. The source of the indictment is a political hack, Democratic, of course, with a history of misuse of his prosecutorial office. That does not mean that DeLay did not do what he’s been accused of. But it does mean that, just [...]
Our friends the Saudis
Posted in Uncategorized on September 28, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s the headlines a search on “Saudi” yielded on the Washington Post website this morning:
3 Saudi Defendants Dismissed in 9/11 Suits
Two Beheaded in Saudi Arabia Over Rape
Saudi Foreign Minister Chides U.S. Policy
Vote Seen As Breakthrough for Saudi Women
Saudi Fighters in Iraq Bring Money
Hughes Raises Driving Ban With Saudis
Bush Waives Saudi Trafficking Sanctions
In that last story [...]
Go, Slugs

Well, what can you expect from a school whose mascot is a hunk of slime? The University of California Santa Cruz, the Banana Slugs, have a despicable caricature of a president. Denice Denton is this idiot’s name, and she combines just about everything that is wrong with academia and the American left.
VDH (that’s [...]
Pork Commission
Posted in Uncategorized on September 26, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
That’s what they should be calling it. Actually, what the two Senators from Louisiana (unofficial state motto: we may be dumber than Arkansas, but we’re much smarter than you) have proposed is a highway bill, only this time it’s highway robbery — with a “Pelican Commission”. From the Washington Post this a.m.:
Louisiana’s [...]
“off a cliff”
Posted in Uncategorized on September 24, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
This is the simile the liberal Washington Post used in today’s editorial on the (likely) Roberts confirmation votes by Democrats. The Post, unlike many on the left, gets it just right. Chief Justice Roberts should not be, and will not be, beholden to any particular set of politicians or partisan positions:
life tenure for [...]
Pork
Posted in Uncategorized on September 24, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
On this, all of our elected officials should become Jewish and keep kosher. Unfortunately, with rare exception so far, very, very few members of Congress have pledged to get rid of some of the pork, so that the monies can be used for much more important things.
To see who’s made the no-pork pledge, visit [...]
Progressives score
Posted in Uncategorized on September 23, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Just in case you were wondering, now you may check out the relative “progressive” ranking of your senators and member of Congress. “Progressive” here meaning “we’re going to take your money through taxes and tell you why you shouldn’t complain about how we, your superiors, spend it. We’re also going to tell you [...]
Not just liberal…

…but so far to the left that they are not Americans. It is one thing to have differing views about abortion, school prayer, giving convicts the vote, and having confiscatory tax rates. Reasonable and decent people may be on different sides of these issues. But to equate a vote for Jonn Roberts [...]
Are all businesses the same?
Posted in Uncategorized on September 22, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
The headline for a front page story in today’s Washington Post says it all: In Break With Tradition, Casinos May Get Tax Breaks, Too. The rationale, from White House spokesman Trent Duffy:
…the federal government should not be picking which businesses should or should not rebuild. The emphasis of tax incentives should be to [...]
Harry Reid, “antiabortion lawmaker”
Posted in Uncategorized on September 21, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
But — and it’s a big but — according to this story in the Washington Post, Give ‘em heck Harry is going to vote against John Roberts’ confirmation as the next Chief Justice of the United States. The mainstream media just loves to put little stumbling blocks to those who claim that all Democrats [...]
signs permitted?
Posted in Uncategorized on September 20, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Two meanings of the title. The first meaning, which should be its only meaning, is that signs on one’s own property are permitted, that is, allowed. The second meaning, a clear violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, is applied by the nannies of Montgomery County, Maryland — unofficial county [...]
“an affront…”
Posted in Uncategorized on September 19, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
What is considered “an affront” is the notion that we in America should actually be looking hard at those who preach hatred and violence. In short, at some mosques in America. The full quotation, made in response to Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s statements that we should be doing something along those lines (story here), [...]
Mary, Mary, don’t be so contrary…

Mary in this case being Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA). Landrieu is in the enviable position of not having any executive authority and being a member of the bloviating elite in the United States Senate. This particular member of the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body has apparently threatened to punch anyone who dares to criticize [...]

“common interest”

We were just so rude to that nice Syrian president. We did not make it easy for him to visit New York to hobnob with all the other thugs and crooks attending the United Nations gabfest. For shame, for shame. At least this seems to be the opinion of a typical “can’t [...]
Traitors

Found, via LGF, a paean of hatred that is traitorous to our nation, and to the truth. It’s from Cindy (“my son died so I’ve got absolute moral authority”) Sheehan, and is found on Michael (“I lie for a living”) Moore’s website.
Here’s the link to this barking at the moon, provided as [...]

Picture this

Imagine, if you can, a small Christian nation that wished to forcibly expel all Jews and Muslims from living within its borders. Further imagine that this nation not only would not grant full citizenship to its non-Christian residents, but made it a practice of spreading the vilest kind of racist propaganda about Jews and [...]
“We will rebuild”
Posted in Uncategorized on September 15, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
And you and I shall help pay for it. Gov. Kathleen Blanco was shown on the news vowing to rebuild New Orleans and surrounding parishes. At the same time, the Louisiana whoremasters, er, sorry, Congressional delegation, is presenting a set of blank checks to the Executive Branch for endorsement. Estimates for rebuilding, [...]
Ship of Fools

George Bush has made his annual pilgrimage to the bleeding heart of multilateral uselessness: the United Nations. This gang of whores and thieves, with a few virtuous nations as the exception, still sits, like an angry chancre sore, on the East River in Manhattan.
What we should all pray for is a [...]
“engines for positive change”
Posted in Uncategorized on September 13, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
Thus opines the Washington Post, urging the nation to sail ever onward in uncharted waters, unemcumbered by anything so archaic as a moral anchor. To the destroyers of the moral fabric who write, edit, and publish the Post, legalizing homosexual “marriage” is considered progress.
The “engine” for this “positive change” is the California [...]
Still September 10th
Posted in Uncategorized on September 11, 2005 | 2 Comments »
Today the calendar says 9/11/05, but it is lying. It’s actually stuck on 9/10/01. To be sure, the current Bush administration has done more than Clinton, Bush I, or Reagan ever did in response to Islamic terrorism. Yet we give the lie to the rhetoric of a “global war on terror.” [...]

It just occurred to me what the current governmental foulup in the post-Katrina Gulf Coast brings to mind: the opening credits for Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

Blame for all

The Washington Post headline is typical in showing the priorities of the mainstream media:
Head of Federal Katrina Relief Effort Replaced
Death Toll May Not Be as High as Initially Feared.
Notice what’s given really top billing; being first, and much larger in typeface size. To the inside-the-Beltway types, the firing of political hack Brown is more [...]

Oops. The title’s meant to be SCOTUS QUOTAS. SCOTUS QUOTUS sounds cooler, though. What is truly uncool is the notion that the Supreme Court of the United States should have certain minimum numbers of certain types of people. “Types” here referring to things about those people over which they have essentially [...]

Except I’m brave; I’ll name him: Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord, the giver of wedgies to liberals. Doing a google on “Republicans for Voldemort” yields a sundry collection of angry-Donk memorabilia, including t-shirts and this particular bumper sticker, which I saw this morning on my walkabout.
This is one of the many [...]
