A Backtrack on the Rudy Expense Story?
Well, not so much a “backtrack” as I believe it was Politico that reported it this time around. What’s even stranger? It seem The New York Times is semi-defending Rudy. In the “Multimedia” box in the Politics section of the NYT’s website, it shows this graphic. Here’s the text, courtesy of Byron York: The headlines [...]
Cheney Is So Evil, He Apparently Opressed Travelers Before the Bush Administration
20. December 2007
He must’ve. Because this oppression of travelers in “Cheney’s America”, actually began well-before Cheney even took office. H/t Hot Air.
Libel Tourism Wins Victory in U.S. Court
20. December 2007
Unbelievable. The New York Sun reports: New York’s highest court turned down a chance today to protect American authors from libel judgments awarded by foreign courts. The case decided today, which pits a Saudi billionaire against a New York-based researcher, was a test of how New York’s courts will respond to concerns that the First [...]
Tancredo Out, Endorses Mitt
20. December 2007
We were expecting him to drop out, so no real surprise there. His reason (besides not enough support)? He felt he was pulling enough votes away that he was helping to allow a pro-amnesty candidate to win. Very honorable, and shows his true commitment (beyond personal interests) to fighting illegal immigration. He has, by the [...]
Study: 6% of German Muslims Support Violence in the Name of Islam
20. December 2007
The “Tiny Minority” may not be that tiny after all. As a matter of fact, it’s significantly larger than previous estimates. A new study commissioned by Germany’s Interior Ministry warns of a growing threat from the radicalization of Muslims in the country. Six percent of Muslims in Germany support violence in the name of Islam, [...]
Oklahoma Attorney General Bans “Christmas”
20. December 2007
UPDATE: The OK AG’s Office denies he issued the order. The office is checking with Ass. AGs to see if anyone else issued it, or if it was even real. ****** Last we left Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, he was drawing massive fire for arresting 3 conservatives on trumped up charges using a discredited [...]
Huck Ally: Rush Doesn’t Think for Himself
20. December 2007
It’s no shocker that Rush Limbaugh doesn’t like Mike Huckabee. That could, of course, be because Huck is essentially a Liberal on just about everything besides abortion and marriage. But, Marc Ambinder decided to ask a D.C.-based ally of Huckabee why he/she thinks Rush doesn’t like Huck. “Honestly, because Rush doesn’t think for himself. That’s [...]
Correction: $10 Million in Omnibus Not For Defending Illegals
20. December 2007
Quite a while back, I promised my readers that I’d issue a retraction or correction if something I’ve reported here is proven inaccurate. I try to base my criticism or praise on facts, and correct myself if what I’ve said is wrong. And that’s what I’m going to do. In my criticism of the omnibus [...]
Thank God…
19. December 2007
I heard about this story on this morning’s news, and was hoping for a miracle for this family. Thank God… It could only be called a Christmas miracle. A father and his three children were found alive today in the Northern California wilderness more than three days after the family had disappeared during an annual [...]
Haunting and Sick…
19. December 2007
But, unfortunately, not surprising. It’s UNICEF’s Photo of the Year. It shows Mohammed, 40, with his new 11-year-old wife, Ghulam. Taken by US photographer Stephanie Sinclair, it was named Unicef Photo of the Year yesterday. Click the picture for a larger, more detailed version. Her eyes and facial expression are worth a thousand words. Via [...]
