Donkey Dean

I just have to mention something about this hilarious column by Larry Elders on Howard Dean. Seems to me that Mr. Dean has some serious issues going on. His loose lips seem to get him in trouble every time he speaks but what's more interesting is that there may be some heavy familial pressures at the root of Dean's follies. It may be enough to almost make me feel bad for the guy... Sorry, I couldn't even write that with a straight face.

Unreal Insult Part 2

Mums the word from the left wing bloggers when Democrats use inflammatory hyperbole to further their message like Charlie Rangel did with his comparison of the Iraq conflict and Hitler's genocide. But conservative bloggers at least seem to have had a more balanced coverage of similar statements, like those made by Rick Santorum calling the entire Democratic party Nazis. That's the point made by McQ here.

Sure, Just Let Em Go

We're just a bunch of thugs aren't we? I'm sure all those people detained at Guantanamo Bay prison are just victims of circumstance; they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. That's certainly what Arianna Huffington wanted Bill O'Reilly to believe. The Political Teen covers the unbelievably naive argument that you have to see to believe. More on the story from In The Bullpen including the 12 prisoners who were released from Gitmo and were killed or captured. The Washington Post details ten of those twelve in what I call the "duh!" item of the day.

Terrorist Xbox Forum

This is a little scary but who could be surprised; Michelle Malkin links to an article from In The Bullpen detailing an Xbox forum which actually appears to be some type forum for Al Quaida. It's a thinly veiled disguise and reafirms the need to stay proactive in our terrorist hunt.

More On Ground Zero

The story of the the 9/11 Memorials bastardization is getting more coverage. The weak defense of the plan and more thoughts can be found over at Astonished Head.

Too Close To Home Part 2

The investigation of al-Qaeda terrorists in the Sacramento area continues to grow. Powerline has more information about this ongoing threat here on the left coast.

Just Make Them Like Us

Last one for tonight; Powerline rails against Nancy Pelosi and her comments about "America's need for a clean slate in the Muslim world". It scares me to think that many of her fellow Democrats just may feel the same way.

Another Unreal Insult

9/11 should definitely be a reminder to the pain and ultimate price our innocent men, women and children paid at the hands of real religous extremists. I would have no words to accurately describe my grief and sorrow were current plans to politicize Ground Zero by numerous members of various Anti-American organizations, to take place. I can only hope the picture that Debra Burlingame paints, is somehow stopped before it destroys the spirit of patriotism in the very place that our country's unity was born from. More from Jeff Jarvis.

Unreal Insult

If I was a Jew, I'd be one seriously pissed of Jew right now. I literally cannot believe the gall of Top House Democrat Charles Rangel to compare Bush invading Iraq to the "the Holocaust." Check out the latest from Chrenkoff. This to me, is sickening. Have we sunk so low as to compare the gassing of innocent Jews with a military operation in Iraq which removed a mass murderer? Regardless of whether or not you feel the reasons for going to war with Iraq were justified, many, many positive benefits were gained from it. Pray tell what good came of Hitler's murderous genocide. Shame on you Charles Rangel.

Judges, Judges, Judges

I will always believe that the nuclear option was the way to go; even still, it's good to see yet another black female thrust into a position of grave national importance via the party of what Howard Dean calls the "...white Christians". Hugh Hewitt offers his thoughts here. Is there anyone still out there who believes that only the Democrats represent minorities? Not many things get me as upset as when the Republican party gets accused of catering to only rich, white men. Hmmm, I guess the Democrats are represented by those great working class saints like Ted Kennedy, George Soros and Diane Feinstein. Regardless, I'd say this is a day worthy of celebration.

Hitting Close To Home In California

Of course it was only a matter of time before terrorists poked up their ugly heads in my home state of California. Luckily the FBI was doing it's job and nabbed to would-be killers. Check out the story on Newsmax.

Falty Fox

Don't think Fox News is infallible. The urge to jump on the "Gulag" band wagon was too hard for FNC contributor Ceci Connolly to resist. Another great article from Michelle Malkin.

Great Border Patrol

So if you can be detained for trying to bring a pair of nail clippers or a lighter on a plane, how come someone carrying a bloody chainsaw can waltz in through the U.S. / Canadian border without a hitch? Instapundit linked to this article from the Washington Post. I swear I don't know what country we live in anymore. Why don't we just put up signs at the borders that say, "Come in, make yourself at home and kill us."

Kerry's Heroism

Think we forgot about Kerry's shaky military records? I don't think so. Thanks to Hugh Hewitt for pointing out these great follow ups by Tom Maguire and Michelle Malkin. I'll keep watching this story. We may have won the Presidency but Kerry is still around acting up in the Senate and we need to keep him in check. Thanks to all for keeping the investigation going. More from Instapundit with a good article from Mikey Kaus. Kerry probably thought this would go away after he lost the election but he was wrong. Check out more from Glenn Reynolds.

Good News From Iraq

With all the news of car-bombings, death and destruction in Iraq coming from the major news outlets, it's nice to hear some positive things from Michael Yon. Let's hope it continues.

Real problems in Africa

The left loves to demonize the current administration as if they are evil in carnate. Sometimes you have to remind yourself what real evil is. It's tough to take America for granted when you see how bad things are in Sudan.

Business In Hollywood

Funny, the movie studios are a great example of successful big business, yet Hollywood loves to demonize big business and capitalism as if they weren't a part of it. Check out this great article from Beacon Hill on Hollywood's long held views on the capitalist system.

Punked

I used to be a skate punk back in the late eighties. I thought the angry, political music was cool back then. As I got older I saw that punk rock was sung by a bunch of well, "punks". Looks, like the punks are still angry. Powerline seems to have irked Sid Vicious. He's still angry, but fortunately for him, he doesn't need actual historical facts to get him upset. Good for you Powerline.
