Another photo from Linda taken at the Costco parking lot in Nashville, TN, which apparently is to bumper stickers what the Georges Bank is to fish. ...
On Sunday evening, October 30, Politico broke the story that two women had complained about Herman Cain while at the National Restaurant Association. In that first week, Politico ran several dozen stories about the accusations without telling us what the accusations were, while characterizing the...
Like I said Friday, the fuse has been lit. I think it's too late for Assad to put it out without a major blow up. Now the Arab League, in an unprecedented move, has imposed economic sanctions on Syria, including travel bans on senior officials and...
The only reason, the only reason, the only reason anyone pays any attention to David Frum is that he is the mainstream media's "useful conservative," someone who screams about the crazy Republican Party and Tea Party movement. He is worse than a carnival barker, because a...
Newt Gingrich has picked up the endorsement of New Hamsphire's largest newspaper, the conservative Manchester Union Leader. This newspaper endorses Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary. America is at a crucial crossroads. It is not going to be enough to merely replace Barack Obama next...
Some scary warnings out there, as reported by The Telegraph: As the Italian government struggled to borrow and Spain considered seeking an international bail-out, British ministers privately warned that the break-up of the euro, once almost unthinkable, is now increasingly plausible. Diplomats are preparing to help Britons...
and I'm not even Christian. In fact, it annoys me when people refuse to say it. And please say Happy Hanukkah to me, not Happy Time When You Light All Those Candles For Some Reason. Another one from Linda in Tennessee, found in her favorite bumper sticker...
This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: As you know, I support Newt Gingrich. But you also know that I have a policy of uniting behind any Republican candidate who comes under false attack from Democrats and Obama...
NATO and/or U.S. forces apparently killed a couple dozen Pakistani soldiers at an outpost on the Afghan border. The details are murky at this point: The Guardian reports that coalition forces say they came under fire and returned fire. Pakistan has announced that it will cut...
(at their own peril.) I read an article in the German newspaper, Der Spiegel, that really got my eyes rolling. It is titled "Habermas, the Last European": Jürgen Habermas, 82, wants to get the word out. He's sitting on stage at the Goethe Institute in Paris. Next...
Since the new blog went live in mid-June, I've only banned about a dozen people (compared to 2700+ registered users). I've banned someone who gratuitously insulted Kathleen, someone who had the "N" word in the registered e-mail address (no need to wait for that person to...
The NY Times has whitewashed the anti-Semitic aspects of the Arab Spring in Egypt since the beginning of the protests last January. NY Times' columnists like Roger Cohen have sought to glamorize and glorify the so-called "Arab Street" and Nicholas Kristof has waxed poetic about...
I've said it before, it's not enough to be a "not" candidate. Not being Barack Obama is not enough, and not being Mitt Romney is not enough. Any candidate who is to win the nomination and the general election is going to have to inspire,...
From reader and bumper sticker photographer extraordinaire Linda, who spotted this at the Lowe's parking lot in Nasheville, TN: ...
Just wondering how much longer until the explosion takes place. Some links: Walter Russell Mead, "when poets buy guns, tourist season is over. They are buying them now in Damascus...
First it was Lara Logan. Then other female journalists: The press freedom organization Reporters Without Borders on Friday cautioned news outlets on sending female reporters to Cairo’s Tahrir Square, citing three incidents in which reporters have been assaulted. “It is more dangerous for a woman than a...
From The Razor (h/t SoccerDad), a brutal takedown of Mitt Romney followed by a "he's electable" endorsement, The Case for Mitt Romney: I don’t like Mitt Romney. I think he’s almost a walking cliche of the smooth talking, Country Club Republican. I think he’s about as...
