Some 9/11 Relatives Idiotarians
I've become somewhat inured to media bias; I still see it, but it no longer causes me to undergo severe outrage. Hey, you can't stay outraged 24 hours a day. But rarely, if ever, have I seen such naked bias and political axe-grinding as in this AP story: Some 9/11 ... [Little Green Footballs]

The Real Two Americas
Looking at the divide between silly America and serious America.
Silly people listen to Michael Moore. Silly people issue marriage licenses to couples ineligible to receive them because they feel that it is important to do so. Silly folks think Dick Cheney is still running Halliburton and that Halliburton is running the war. Silly people make ads for websites that feature George W. Bush morphing into Hitler. Silly people think we've got Osama bin Laden stashed away in a cave waiting for a September debut. Silly people look to Maureen Dowd for insight into the world.

Liberal Hypocrisy, Take 2
After whining that President Bush was trying to "politicize" 9-11, the Democrats respond by...using victims of 9-11 and union bosses claiming they represent victims and firefighters to attack President Bush.
Oh, no hypocrisy there! ::roll eyes::
I guess I forgot that Democrats are allowed to attack President Bush night and day without proof and President Bush is not allowed to run on his record. Silly me!
And the liberal press presents the issue of Bush's campaign ads as if no one likes them, with AP headlining "Some 9/11 Relatives Angered by Bush Ads", and only much later in the story revealing the whole story, that many also approve of them: [Reality Hammer]

Your daily does of Liberal Hypocrisy
Liberals are certainly working overtime in the hypocrisy department.
They are currently insisting that people like Rush Limbaugh, and his use of free speech, are actually a threat to free speech that can only be corrected by "equal time" laws forced on the public by government.
In other words, if you choose to listen to Rush Limbaugh, you must also listen to Al "I lie for a living" Franken's new radio show. In fact, every radio station that broadcasts Republican, conservative or libertarian ideas must undergo a government review to determine whether their broadcasts are "in the public interest".
So many times over the years I am thankful that I am too smart to be a liberal and too honest to be a Democrat. [Reality Hammer]

The Mars Rover has started it's own Blog
NASA told me to use the microscopic imager on the end of my arm and I just said no. I'm not their puppet, you know. I am semi-autonomous up here. It was just like totally unacceptable for me to carry out that command, you know? I could have gotten hurt! Or dusty! In the end they saw my point of view, but then they GROUNDED me! I don't get to drive anywhere until tomorrow!! They said it's for my own good, but I just can't believe it!!!!! I thought they'd be happy that I can say no when it's good for me. Instead they're treating me just like my sister. Maybe I should cut off contact for a few days, too, then. *sulks*
And they keep playing crappy music at me. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are soooo 1990s. At least I have all you nice people to keep me company! You guyz are the best! *rover hugs to all my peeps*

I miss The Cold War. Things were so much easier then. Maybe we should hook up with the ruskies again and kick the shit out of the rest of the world and go back to the way things were. The Russians have to take France though.

A Miscalculation
The not-so-secret secret is out: a lot of black Americans have never been happy with homosexuals equating their struggles for acceptance with that of civil rights. Part of the reason is that many, if not most black Americans are very...
I think that homosexual activists, in their zeal to get what they want right now have been quite short-sighted in this matter. There are too many black evangelical Christians out there that won’t “put their color before Christ,” as Star Parker put it. [baldilocks]
A very big miscalculation from what I'm hearing at work. All support they had at one time is gone due to their impatience. CP

John Kerry
Hi everybody, my name is John Kerry and I'm mad.
I'm mad at George Bush. Gee willikers, I really hate him. I mean I hate him. He's just such a buffoon. He never tells the truth. He lied to us about everything. He lied to this whole country and to the whole world about everything.
He's just so mean. [Shining full Plate and a good broadsword]

BUSH LIED!!!! by Telling the Truth
The San Francisco Chronicle's Debra Saunders got a chance at an editorial board meeting last week to quiz John Kerry about his claim that President Bush "misled" him into backing the liberation of Iraq:
Kerry says he believed the resolution tied President Bush to promises to build an international coalition, to work with the United Nations and only go to war as a last resort. A disappointed Kerry now says Bush failed in all three venues. . . .
A month before Kerry's "yes'' vote, Bush went to the United Nations and said the following: "Saddam Hussein has defied the United Nations 16 times. Not once, not twice--16 times he has defied the U.N. The U.N. has told him after the (Persian) Gulf War what to do, what the world expected, and 16 times he's defied it. And enough is enough. The U.N. will either be able to function as a peacekeeping body as we head into the 21st century, or it will be irrelevant. And that's what we're about to find out.''
Bush told the U.N. that if it failed to act, America and its allies would--as indeed they did. So where's the deception? Saunders:
Kerry's answer was that Washington insiders believed that Bush didn't mean what he said. "I think that you had a hard-line group (then Pentagon adviser) Richard Perle, (Deputy Defense Secretary) Paul Wolfowitz and probably (Vice President Dick) Cheney. But when Brent Scowcroft and Jim Baker (former advisers to the first President Bush) weighed in, very publicly in op-eds in the New York Times and the (Washington) Post, the chatter around Washington and (Secretary of State Colin) Powell in particular, who was very much of a different school of thought, was really that the president hadn't made up his mind. He was looking for an out. That's what a lot of people thought."
What about what Bush said to the U.N.? That was "rhetorical," Kerry answered. And "a whole bunch of very smart legitimate people" not running for president thought as he did. "So most people, actually on the inside, really felt that (Bush) himself was looking for the way out to sort of satisfy Cheney, satisfy Wolfowitz, but not get stuck." Kerry continued, "The fact that he jumped and went the other way, I think, shocked them and shocked us."
So Bush "misled" Kerry by telling the truth! As Saunders observes, "The scariest part is that Kerry looked as if he believed what he said."

What's In A Name
Much has been made, and still is being made, about the lack of evidence of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. After all, where are they? Granted, we haven't found them - yet. Maybe we never will. I've written enough... [Shining full plate and a good broadsword]
