Caesers Gives Obama Room Upgrade
27. May 2009
Apparently expensive excursions to Las Vegas on the taxpayer dime are only outrageous if you’re not doing it to help re-elect Democratic hacks. Caesars Palace gave President Obama a room upgrade Tuesday night, putting him in one of its special high-roller suites, despite the Democrat’s denunciation last January of business excursions to Las Vegas on [...]

There’s not much information as of this moment, but reports from Reuters indicate that Russia is taking preventative measures — including militarily — in case a conventional or nuclear war breaks out as a result of recent events. Here’s what we have so far: MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia is taking preventative measures, including military ones, [...]
North Korea: South Has Declared War Against Us
27. May 2009
Call me crazy, but I’m a little concerned when a regime that’s spent the last few days test-firing ballistic missiles and detonating nuclear weapons says it’s no longer bound by a decades-old armistice. In fact, the DPRK is talking about military action against its non-communist neighbor to the south. SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North [...]
California Supreme Court Upholds Prop 8
26. May 2009
Not a huge surprise given that few experts believed the California Supreme Court would overturn a constitutional amendment passed by the people of California. Still, it’s nice to see a victory for democracy in the court system. The California Supreme Court today upheld Proposition 8’s ban on same-sex marriage but also ruled that gay couples [...]
Sotomayor: I Would Think Latinas Reach Better Conclusions Than White Males
26. May 2009
It’s been a whopping two hours since news broke that Sonia Sotomayor had been chosen by President Obama to replace Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court, yet evidence has already arisen that Sotomayor is a liberal activist judge who has a tendency to bring up race in relation to rulings. First, there was the [...]

Federal Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, a noted liberal jurist with a propensity towards activism on the bench, has been chosen by President Obama to be nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States.

North Korea Launches Two Missiles
26. May 2009
Just across the wires a few minutes ago. Yonhap reports that the two short-range missiles (not yet positively identified) were launched off of the east coast of North Korea — not the west coast as intelligence officials had believed. Developing… Update: Things just took another interesting turn. According to Yonhap, one missile was surface-to-air, while [...]
North Korea to Launch Additional Missiles
25. May 2009
The DPRK will launch additional short-range missiles shortly, BNO News reports. More soon… Update: Okey dokey. So, the missile(s) that appears ready for launching is the KN-01 anti-ship short-range missile, capable of flying about 160Km. North Korea will apparently launch the projectile off of its western coast, where it has banned all ships from sailing [...]
UNSC To Condemn North Korean Nuclear Test
25. May 2009
I said earlier that any resolution out of the UN would give rhetoric about condemning the nuclear test and abiding by sanctions already in effect. I was pretty damn close.
