Thus the WaPo foodie columnist describes a vegan diet. It’s all about global warming and the need for humans to simply dry up and stop abusing the planet.
Well, WaPo is the dead tree product that gets delivered to my door each a.m. Got to keep in touch with my neighbors, I suppose, [...]

One of our Congressmen-for-Life, John Conyers, with regards to the 1,000+ page health care bill has opined (via The Washington Times)
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you’ve read the bill?”
Well, Conyers, that’s why [...]

“Gallery invites visitors to deface Bible” is the headline. And, this is exactly what happened, although it was (perhaps) not intended. From the story:
The Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow has invited art lovers to write their thoughts down in an open Bible on display as part of its Made in [...]
Affirmative action, age 45, is dead

Thus begins Juan Williams’ column today. Williams is a voice of sanity on the (center) left, and for that reason his words should be heeded. According to him, Ricci v. DeStefano has dealt a death blow to affirmative action.
Affirmative action attempts to right a wrong with another wrong: discrimination in [...]

When you drive across state lines, your driver’s license will be honored. The principle is black-letter law, contained Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution. States as a rule must honor the licenses and other permits that other states issue. So, one must ask, why wouldn’t your [...]

This is what the arrogant man says, when accosted by the authorities (via WaPo). Ah, the black man as perpetual victim. The black man in question is a professor at a school that long ago gave in to the whims of political correctness by hiring the man in the first place. [...]
“Talking to them…has not been possible”

The lead sentence from the WaPo front-page story about North Korean slave labor camps is “Talking to them [the North Koreans] about the camps is something that has not been possible.”
The camps, estimated to hold 200,000, appear to rival anything that the Nazis and Soviet communists had. From the Post, this paragraph concerning the [...]
Satire that comes too close to the mark

David Kahane, writing at NRO, pens this:
Is there no end to the prowess of His Serene Highness, the Emperor Barack Hussein Obama II, Lord of the Flies, Protector of the Holy Cities of Honolulu and Chicago, and by the Grace of Gaia the 44th president of the United States? Whether it’s swatting a pesky fly [...]

It’s good to know that our First Couple are truly sympatico and down with those who can’t afford the basics because they’ve lost their jobs in the Obama recession. Especially those who, unable to buy luxuries, cling to their God, their guns, their religion. Regular Americans, in other words.
From the Daily News, the [...]

At first glance I thought this headline announced stricter enforcement of our immigration laws: New Curbs Set on Arrests of Illegal Immigrants. Missed the “on Arrests.”
According to the story in the Wall Street Journal,
The new [Homeland Security] guidelines sharply reduce the ability of local law enforcement to arrest and screen [...]

t’s good to know that our Ogler-in-Chief hasn’t lost his roving eye for the female form. Sarkozy, standing to The Great One’s right (in more ways than one) can be excused for his rump gazing. He is French, after all.
Obama’s excuse? No control, apparently.
“a bit too small”

After five months of extravagant and wasteful spending, unemployment creeps up, ever so steadily, to double digits. The best anyone can say, if they are truthful, about the economy is that it is not as bad as it could have been. Which, of course, is unknowable at best.
The point is [...]

Those who value symbols above reality and process over results are watching, nervously, as Obama meets with Putin’s Puppet and, perhaps, even Vladimir his very self. The arms control crowd is atwitter, since the START I treaty of 1991 is about to expire at the end of this year.
And, whatever shall we do, [...]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, [...]

Colin Powell has awakened from having partaken of the Obama Kool Aid. And now he has expressed “concern” about our march to a great socialist paradise. From the Washington Times:
Colin Powell, one of President Obama’s most prominent Republican supporters, expressed concern Friday that the president’s ambitious blitz of costly initiatives may [...]

From the Thomas Paine Reader:
Instead of going forward we shall go backward, or be perpetually quarrelling or ridiculously petitioning. — We are already greater than the king wishes us to be, and will he not hereafter endeavour to make us less? …Is the power who is jealous of our prosperity a proper power to [...]
Martyr for Christ?

If this story is true, there has been yet another martyr for Christ. This time in an African Muslim country, Mauritania, where a Christian attempting to help the locals was killed (news story). Allegedly for “trying to convert Muslims to Christianity.”
The source for this statement is highly unreliable: Arab terrorists [...]

bama must pine for one of his fellow leftists having been kicked out of the nest. The only open question is how long it will take the elected dictator, should he be returned to power, to eliminate any chance of losing the next “election.” No matter what he says now.
