Christine O’Donnell won the Delaware primary last night, and within minutes (literally) über liberal Rachel Maddow started running video and commentary on MSNBC about O’Donnell’s views on masturbation. The pretext for sexualizing O’Donnell was a 1996 video in which O’Donnell was interviewed about her conservative Christian views...

September 1972.  Worth remembering.  I’ll bet most of our children never heard of it, because we don’t teach such things anymore. History and terrorism started with the election of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nOnRbTlWs0?fs=1] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTqZPKZ4_wk?fs=1] ——————————————–Related Posts:It’s al-Quds Day at WaPo (feat.

Spotted by a reader in Tampa, Florida: Update 9-15-2010:  Thanks to reader Sylvia for e-mailing me this link to an article about the store (it is in St. Peterburg, not Tampa): It’s Barack Obama’s 100th day as president of an economically depressed country. It’s Mahmoud’s 169th...

I saw this coming. A couple of weeks after her Nevada Senate primary victory, Sharron Angle appeared on journalist John Ralston’s television show.  Ralston apparently is one of the most prominent political reporters in Nevada. At the time, this was my first introduction to Ralston.  Here was how...
