Gaza Flotilla of Fools (open thread)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 27, 2011 10 Comments

I'll be updating links and reports about the Gaza Flotilla 2 throughout the day, although if someone just happened to fall off one of the ships, maybe I'll do a separate post. Feel free to add in links in the comments. Israel Matzav has a good...

What is wrong with this picture?

Spotted by reader Steve last week in Maryland Delaware. In his e-mail to me, Steve pointed out a problem, see if you can figure it out. ...

Gaza flotilla protesters to flood State Dept phones singing “Let My People Go”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 13 Comments

You can't make this stuff up. Really, is there anything more pathetic than Americans like Greta Berlin who are participating in the Gaza flotilla, set to sail tomorrow? Six of their boats have been detained in Greece. Berlin, who blames the U.S., has put out a call...

This is your brain, this is your brain in fluorescent light

We approach the end of the light bulb as we know it, unless the revolution succeeds. Even so, it's doubtful the lost jobs will return, so the Mexican incandescent light bulb smuggling routes will open soon. Nonetheless, I thought this would be a good time to publish...

Operation Chaos – Wisconsin Recall Primary Edition

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 11 Comments

Hey, they've run fake Tea Party candidates against us to siphon off votes from Republicans, so I can't get upset over the fact that Republicans are running "fake" Democrats in the primaries for the Wisconsin special elections in which Republican Senators are targeted. By requiring Democrats...

Is Generalissimo Francisco “Hugo” Chavez Still Alive?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 1 Comment

There are no clear reports. Some say dead, some say dying, some say planning a triumphant return having beaten the disease which the Yankee-imperialist dogs used to try to kill him through the agents of the Zionist Entity. In anticipation of the worst/best, here goes: ...

Chris Wallace Palinizes Michele Bachmann

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 33 Comments

The narrative already was being set, the Palinization of Michele Bachmann, but now that Fox News has joined in, it's all but over as to the Michele Bachmann narrative if she makes it to a general election (including as to V.P.). It's a question to which...

Applying The Weiner Test To The WI Sup Ct Scuffle

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 48 Comments

The facts are murky so far as to the alleged altercation between Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices David Prosser and Ann Walsh Bradley. Byron York and Ann Althouse have good round-ups of the competing leaks and press releases, and the highly suspicious involvement of Soros-funded "investigative" journalists...

Help Me Beat The Filters

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 5 Comments

I posted the other day about a reader having the new url (www.legalinsurrection.com) blocked at work as a porn site, whereas the prior ".blogspot.com" address was not. (Some government-employed readers previously wrote that all ".blogspot.com" addresses were blocked depending upon the agency, but that was not specific...

On what rational basis does NY State now deny polyamorous clusters the right to marry?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 22 Comments

The slippery slope argument. Perhaps the best (or worst) example is the scene from Animal House in which an attempt by the student disciplinary council to discipline Delta House is turned into, through a series of slips and slopes, an alleged attack on the United States of...

Saturday Night Card Game (Saggingpantsophobia)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 25, 2011 13 Comments

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: Some guy apparently was permitted by US Airways to board a plane wearing almost only women's underwear (image here, put down uncovered drinks before viewing). I'm not sure on what...

My Take On NY Gay Marriage Bill

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 25, 2011 49 Comments

If you believe that "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people," then you have to agree that states control their own legal definitions of marriage,...

Can any Republican presidential candidate withstand being Palinized?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 25, 2011 43 Comments

Not a fan of Ed Rollins, but you know that. I guess this qualifies as Part 3 of the "Hey Ed Rollins, you deal with it" series. More than not being a fan of Ed Rollins, I keep questioning why Michele Bachmann started her campaign by having Rollins...

How do you fit this in a 30-second TV commercial?

Or a 1-minute debate answer? That's the trick isn't it? So much has gone wrong, Obama has been so bad, its hard to get your words around it. (h/t to reader John for the link)...

Are you kidding me, this is the Chicago Police Superintendent?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 24, 2011 19 Comments

A very bizarre attack on federal gun laws (actually the Second Amendment) and Sarah Palin by Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy speaking at Reverend Michael Pleger's church. And we wonder why the streets of Chicago are out of control? (h/t @angelflemming)(full video and transcript here)...
