Video: Media Swoons Over Obama Killing a Fly
Yes, really. They’re praising his concentration, poise, strength, and dexterity. They are actually swooning over his killing of a fly in the middle of an interview. You didn’t think there was another level of ass kissing besides what we’ve seen so far? There is, my friends.
Breaking: Senior Iranian Ayatollah Calls Election Illegitimate
16. June 2009
There’s a new crack in the incumbent Iranian regime and it’s a big one. Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, the most senior Islamic cleric in the country, has called the election a sham that no one should believe. The announcement should provide new morale for supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi, the man many believe really [...]
McCaskill Questions Obama’s Firing of Americorps’ IG
16. June 2009
Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri has joined with Republicans in questioning Barack Obama’s firing of the internal watchdog for Americorps. You’ll recall that Gerald Walpin, the inspector general for the governmental organization, was fired by the Obama Administration after he investigated a major Obama political supporter. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said the president failed [...]
Senator John Ensign Admits to Having an Affair
16. June 2009
Politicians having affairs while in office or campaigning isn’t exactly an oddity. Look at John Edwards, for example. What is odd is that this confession from Ensign comes apparently without provocation and almost a year since the affair apparently ended. WASHINGTON (AP)—Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, a leading Republican mentioned as a potential presidential candidate, [...]
Real Cost of ObamaCare: $4 Trillion
16. June 2009
The Congressional Budget Office reported yesterday that the health care legislation put up by Senate Democrats would increase the national deficit by $1 trillion over the next 10 years, while still leaving about 30 million — with an “m” — Americans uninsure. The announcement shocked even those who favor such legislation. But as if that [...]
Erbe: Cheney Does Hope for a Terrorist Attack
16. June 2009
Because really, what other motivation could there possibly be for his criticism of the Obama Administration? If you’re vocally defending your record and criticizing the sitting administration, well, you must be hoping for a terrorist attack on American soil. You know, CIA director Leon Panetta is right! I’ve been watching former Vice President Dick Cheney’s [...]
A Couple of New Videos out of Iran
16. June 2009
Keep in mind that many of these videos are uploaded to YouTube hastily and in other languages (not all Persian), so full descriptions aren’t always available. I’m posting quite a few videos in a row, so be forewarned that several feature violence and blood. It’s the cold, harsh reality of the situation in Iran and [...]
Video: Iranian Police Beat, Drag Iranian Protester
16. June 2009
As with the previous brutal video, this warrants a strong content warning. The video description says they’re “Islamic police”, and this handy posting on uniform identification seems to back that up. Incidents like this are occurring throughout the streets of Tehran and other cities in the Islamic Republic. Brutal.
Video: Attempts To Revive Iranian Protester
16. June 2009
Be forewarned: The situation in Iran has gotten bloody, violent, and oftentimes inappropriate for young children and the queasy. This should serve as your official content warning for most videos and pictures coming out of the country. The video below is no exception to the above rule. In fact, it deserves an additional warning. You’re [...]
Obama Blocks Access to White House Visitor Log
16. June 2009
Remember when President-elect Obama promised a new era of transparency as part of his platform of “change”? Yeah, well, that promise has gone the way of the “no lobbyist” pledge, the promise to publish bills online for citizen feedback, and halting military tribunals at Gitmo. As Jim Geraghty has said, every one of his promises [...]
