Thanks to Cam Edwards for pointing me to these examples of wacked out animal rights moonbattery. The first is just more […]

from the press conference with Karzai

Is Zawahiri getting ready to run for the Democrats (video)?

It seems it’s not just the UN Peacekeepers who need nice frilly lingerie; so do the Canuck border guards:
VANCOUVER — Dozens of federal border guards at several Canada-U.S. crossings in B.C. walked off the job yesterday, creating lengthy waits to get into Canada.
About 60 guards with the Canada Border Services Agency […]

is from Small Dead Animals:
The next time Arabs and/or Muslims complain about the persecution they suffer at the hands of the Americans and Israelis, remember this…
Since 1948, the number of Muslims killed by the Americans and Israelis combined is still less than the number killed by the French. And the number of Muslims killed by […]

I got this from Bullwinkle Blog:

after yesterday’s list of politicians who voted against all four private property protection bills, here are the Democrats who voted for the military tribunals bill, courtesy of Big Lizards

From ¡No Pasaran!, the latest on UN Peacekeepers

Fmragtops has a new troll to kick around. This troll:
I can’t speak the truth in Amerika, Bush is moving to allow torture of political dissidents, and the government, and government sponsored JUDEOCORPORATIONS own 99 percent of Amerika.
I was going to jump in, but I just couldn’t top this response from Steve the Pirate:
Dude, go give […]

Courtesy of the Club for Growth, here are the politicians who voted against all four private property bills to counter Kelo

Remember when spam used to make sense? Yes, it was annoying, but at least you knew what they were trying to sell. These days, more often than not, spam makes no sense at all. I get all kinds of spam that is nothing but meaningless strings of characters. And sometimes, it has, well, just weird […]

Education — when it comes to curriculum — is unaffected by normal market pressures. Certainly, if, say, you have two courses, the first a prerequisite for the second, both taught by the same department, and the faculty member who teaches the second course complains to the faculty member teaching the first that there is something […]

Neither the left nor the right is going to be happy with me for writing this, but it can’t be helped. It’s time for a serious reality check — make that a hard slap in the face.
First let’s get this out of the way, so I can’t be falsely accused later on. I strongly support […]

Thanks to Right on the Left Coast and Cam Edwards for this story:

Remember this New York nanny-state nonsense?
Three years after the city banned smoking in restaurants, health officials are talking about prohibiting something they say is almost as bad: artificial trans fatty acids.
The city health department unveiled a proposal Tuesday that would bar cooks at any of the city’s 24,600 food service establishments from using ingredients that […]

Crossposted from Stop The ACLU:
In case you haven’t heard, a group of dissenters from the ACLU are rebelling and calling for a change in the current leadership of the main organization. The summary of things this new group is fed up with is hypocrisy and the ACLU is full of it. Purging […]

“How do we reason with them [Borg], show them we pose no threat?”
What a panty-waist.

What could be more predictable?

Ryan at Edspresso pointed me to this article, and all I have to say is when the author begins with a non sequitur, you know it’s not going to be pretty. In the pursuit of classroom alchemy:
I’m beginning my 20th year of teaching in the Los Angeles Unified School District, and if I’ve learned anything, […]

I sent this letter today to Dole, Frist, Specter, Santorum, and Ken Mehlman.
Dear Senators Dole, Frist, Santorum and Specter, and Chairman Mehlman:
I thought instead of throwing away your frequent requests for donations and deleting your email requests, I would let you know why I will not contribute to the NRSC, at least until you change […]

I got this on a mailing list, so no URL:
A Few Things The Police Would Like You to Know
Dear Citizen:
Your 5 year old kid getting pushed down by another 5 year old kid is NOT a police matter; talk to the other kid’s parents, not the police.
If your kid won’t do his homework or do […]

If you haven’t heard, the Berlin Opera has cancelled a production of Mozart’s Idomeneo because one scene shows the heads of Neptune, Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha. At least the Germans have suddenly found the intestinal fortitude to call it what it is:
BERLIN (Reuters) - German politicians condemned on Tuesday a decision by a Berlin opera […]

This week Wictory Wednesday presents Max Burns for the US Congress for the 12th District of Georgia. He is running a tight race against Democratic incumbent John Barrow.

A quick and dirty search through Google News for articles, news, and editorials revealed no less than 14 pieces written in the last month regarding the FairTax. Fully 1/3 of those were editorials agreeing with the need for the FairTax.
A sampling:
From the Denver Daily News, an editorial titled […]

The Carnival of Education is up at Education Wonks.

I think Andrew said it best in “Unreasonable Israelis Demand U.N. Forces Actually Do Their Jobs”:
I can’t possibly imagine why these obstinate Hebrews would have a problem with a peacekeeping force that openly refuses to do anything more exerting than sitting around and playing with its collective wang. I mean, the sheer gall of it.
I […]

Among other things (like being sick as hell), I’ve been co-writing an article on High Tech High for Edspresso with Ken of D-Ed Reckoning fame (my earlier articles on the High Tech High fiasco can be seen here, here, and here). Edspresso says, and I quote, “You should know that this may very well be […]

from Kobayashi Maru (courtesy of the Anchoress)

Let’s hear a round of applause for Porkbusters, not only for pressuring Congress into passing the earmark reform bill, but being invited to the White House for the signing of the bill.
President Bush has invited bloggers to join him today as he signs into law a bill creating a database of federal spending — a […]

goes to Bill Cosby

from Don Surber (who in turn is commenting on an article in American Spectator that has not yet been put online)

you realize you just sat through one of those E-Harmony commercials without changing the channel or throwing something at the TV.

I’m going to reproduce the whole thing, because something is screwy at thehill.com (I’ve tried numerous times, but have only once gotten to the article):
The real Clinton emerges
Dick Morris
From behind the benign façade and the tranquilizing smile, the real Bill Clinton emerged Sunday during Chris Wallace’s interview on Fox News Channel. There he was on […]

Shocker At the Polls: A Republican
By ALICIA COLON
September 22, 2006
A funny thing happened when I went to vote in the primary election. I signed in at my district’s desk and a poll worker printed my information on a green card. She gave the card to another worker, who adjusted some mechanism on the […]

Yeah, I know, you thought they already had. Wrong.
Bringing us one step closer to the day Americans are arrested for swatting bugs, PETA is demanding that Six Flags Great America kill a Halloween season cockroach-eating promotion, which it deems to be “gratuitously cruel.”
Six Flags is defending the promotion on the grounds that cockroaches are highly […]
