This is just funny

Some levity is sorely needed if you were foolish enough to waste good time watching the liberal asshats of hollyweird pat themselves on the back.  This fills the bill quite nicely. [Left Coast Conservative]

I should do this more often

Stop by Calpundit, that is. Every time I do, there is invariably something posted that gets me in the mood to write about it. Kevin scores with a twofer this time around. First, he points out that Kerry is making... [Silent Running]

Clinton Legacy Project Update: Haiti - Aristide flees

It is not often that a ruler is forced to flee twice from his country.

Aristide was restored to power by the Clinton administration, which obviously did not take the time to make sure that democracy was fostered. One hopes that the Congressional Black Caucus, always quick to demand that the United States "do something" whenever Haitians started acting up, will decide to put their money where their mouths are and contribute in meaningful way to the rebuilding of Haiti.

President Bush authorized United States forces to participate in an international peace-keeping mission. Once again America leads the way to restoring freedom and democracy.

In a move that should surprise no one, the United Nations scheduled a debate on whether to send peacekeeping forces to Haiti. No need to hurry simply because chaos rules the land and people are dying from mob violence. No, it is far better to spend your time criticizing the United States for liberating Iraq. Once again we are remined why we should dissolve the United Nations and reconstitute it with nations that are actually committed to democracy. [Reality Hammer]

Regime Change?

This cartoon is a repost from April 24 of last year. At the time some readers thought the cartoon was our prediction of what was going to happen in Iraq, as if we were declaring the invasion of Iraq... [Cox & Forkum]

Teach Your Children Well

When out good friends the French aren't out beating Jews or burning synagogues they're teaching their children about America.

In January, a cartoon festival was held in the town of Carquefou, just outside of Nantes in the northwest corner of France. Students of all ages competed in a contest to illustrate their vision of the United States. They drew obese Americans... [Right-Thinking from the Left Coast]

Wooly Boys Paid Up

So while "Wooly Boys" hasn't yet equaled the success of "Dance With Wolves," (a movie that had a huge impact on tourism in South Dakota), its not quite the disappointment Democrats would have us believe its been.  [North Dakota Blogs]

Mars may be muddy!

Evidence that suggests Mars was once a water-rich world is mounting as scientists scrutinize data from the Mars Exploration rover, Opportunity, busily at work in a small crater at Meridiani Planum. That information may well be leading to a biological bombshell of a finding that the red planet has been, and could well be now, an extraterrestrial home for life.

There is a palpable buzz here at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California that something wonderful is about to happen in the exploration of Mars

EAT Them, Ferchrissakes!

"The bjoat mjust be bjuilt accjording to the rjegulations issued by our bjetters in de Oslo", we can almost hear the EUrocrappers intone in their fjinest Weejun.

So they continue to talk and talk and talk and talk, while tons of high-dollar seafood is marching past their doorstep, destroying everything in their path.

They'll probably end up declaring the critters an endangered species while applying for foreign aid because they've sat by and watched their fishing industry get destroyed.

ACE is on an XM8 Roll

I'm still not convinced that a full service conversion from the M16 to another weapon which still fires the 5.56 is worth the cost (as the round, not the rifle, is our problem at this point). If our goal is to equip our troops with CQB [close quarters battle] assault-type weapons which can spray bullets without careful aiming, this looks like a good choice. But sometimes, our soldiers need to take careful aim and accurately place a shot in a guy's chest or head. As the M4 has demonstrated, very short barrels reduce accuracy and terminal punch, as some of the powder is burning outside the barrel.

Not Idiots

I've been reading Mona Charen's book, Useful Idiots, if tossing the book across the room in fury every dozen pages can be called "reading". One thing in particular strikes me, and forgive my stupidity -- I claim immigrant status. Charen does a fine job of identifying the American liberals and socialist /... [Kim du Toit]

The Dodge City Scenario

When GFWs talk about concealed-carry permits leading to "Dodge City", I don't think that they'd appreciate this dose of reality:

 As with Dodge City, the excitement in the Old West in general has been much overstated. All the big cattle towns of Kansas combined saw a total of 45 murders during the period of 1870-1885. Dodge City alone saw 15 people die violently from 1876–1885—an average of 1.5 per year. Deadwood, South Dakota and Tombstone, Arizona (home of the O.K. Corral), during their worst years of violence saw four and five murders respectively. Vigilante violence appears to not have been much worse.  [Kim du Toit]

 EDUSPEAK:

Forget "compare and contrast"; schoolchildren now learn
  "text-to-text connections". They don't go to "home room" but rather
  "Achievement Time" or, in some schools, "Time to Care". The temporary
  classroom is now a "learning cottage" rather than a "trailer". Even the
  humble essay is gone, replaced by the "extended constructed response".
  "If teachers want to talk in those terms among themselves, they're
  welcome to," says Vocabulary Review publisher Hartwell Fiske. "But
  introducing children to them is criminal, dehumanizing." Students
  agree. "It's like renaming a prison 'The Happy Fun Place'," complains a
  Maryland senior. "Tests should be called tests. 'Brief constructed
  response'; you just wonder why they don't say 'paragraph'." (Washington
  Post) ...It's nice that kids still get to learn about George Orwell. [thisistrue.com]

What was your first clue?

Corrine Brown is a Racist...

You know, as well as I do, that had a Republican uttered those stupid words, every left forum, blog, and newsite would be demanding resignation. It would be the crime of the century! But no, a female, non-Caucasion Democrat did and what's being said? Not a single word, that's what. Not a single thread on Democratic Underground about it. Not one. Is it suddenly okay to make a racist remark, as long as a white person isn't the one doing it? [Dizzy Girl]

War: What is it Good For?

Well, well, well. You remember all the wailing we heard from the left about how sanctions against the United Nations had killed 500,000 Iraqi children by starvation, denial of medicine, and denial of clean water? Well it seems that -- are you sitting down? -- that Saddam Himself was taking the oil-for-food money for himself! Yes, I know you're as stunned as I am, but it really looks like Saddam had set up quite a detailed system to pilfer all the proceeds for his own uses, none of...
