Obama to Visit President of Canada In February
So says Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. (And before I hear from Obamites about how stupid I am, read.)
Your Daily Dose of Berkeley Stupidity
29. January 2009
Via Mark Steyn, Berkeley has long passed the point of laughable in its insanity. Now it’s just pathetic. Berkeley’s public library will face a showdown with the city’s Peace and Justice Commission tonight over whether a service contract for the book check-out system violates the city’s nuclear-free ordinance. Confused? You’re not alone. 3M, a company [...]
Obama Administration Begins Writing Letters to Iran
28. January 2009
It appears that the administration will bypass Ahmadinejad and instead go for Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. Not a terrible idea considering that Mahmoud is up for re-election in just five months and Mohammad Khatami, his more moderate (by relative terms) predecessor, is reportedly challenging him. State department officials have written at least [...]
Palin Speaks Out About Her New PAC
28. January 2009
If you haven’t heard by now, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin launched a new political action committee this past week. The goal of the new organization, per its FAQ section, is to raise money for Governor Palin to continue spreading her ideas regarding energy independence and reform. The news caused many to speculate, understandably, that it [...]
The Stimulus Vote’s Silver Lining
28. January 2009
I, like my fellow members of the conservative blogosphere, saw a silver lining in today’s passage of the $1.2 trillion crap sandwich: Every single Republican voted against this nightmare. There were no defections to support the bill in order to appease the Charmer-in-Chief. In fact, 11 Democrats bucked the president in voting against the Pelosi-Reid-Obama [...]
$335 Million for STD Prevention in Stimulus Bill
28. January 2009
As Matt Drudge’s source says, the question isn’t whether STD prevention is a worth-while expenditure for a country already far in debt. The question is simply how such an expenditure belongs in legislation intended to stimulate the economy in the middle of a recession. Democrats may have eliminated provisions on birth control and sod for [...]
ACLU Of Colorado: Gitmo Detainees Won’t Have Better Living Conditions in the US
28. January 2009
While the ACLU of Colorado is certainly pleased with Barack Obama’s announcement regarding the closure of Guantanamo Bay’s detention center, the organization isn’t thrilled with the fact that the detainees actually got more time out of their cell at Gitmo than they’d get at the supremax prison’s solitary confinement in the United States. No duh. [...]
House to Vote on Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt Act of 2009; Passes With No Republicans
28. January 2009
The vote is imminent, Allahpundit says. So stand by. Update: And so it begins. Update X2: The crap sandwich just passed 244-188 with every single Republican voting against it. House Republicans have finally grown a pair. The Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt Act of 2009 is all yours, Democrats. More: Michelle Malkin.
CIA Algeria Chief Under Investigation for Raping Muslim Women
28. January 2009
Can he even comprehend how much this news can damage the United States in the war on terror? The Islamist terrorists talk about the United States stealing its land and raping its women. They’ll grasp onto this single case like a pitbull and drive it as evidence all the way home. The CIA’s station chief [...]
Ahmadinejad: Obama Should Apologize for America’s “Crimes”
28. January 2009
Outside of some elements of the far left, I’m strangely not seeing a whole bunch of support for such a step amongst Americans. The question is rightfully brought up, however: Would an apology from America be a “precondition” for Iran to come to the table and actually try to get something done? If so, will [...]
