An Unfortunate Outbreak of Intense Patriotism - Why the Name Change?

Longtime readers have seen my "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" blog here for a while. I decided to rename it after reading this quote from our former president Jimmy Carter (a. k. a. Mr. Peanut) in an interview in Germany's Speigel magazine: "Unfortunately, after Sept. (11 – sic), there... Sign in to see full entry.

Ringside Harry Reid: Cheney Politicizing Terrorism?

Some stories are so ludicrous as to defy explanation or comment. Newsmax is running such a story, in which Senate Minority Leader Ringside Harry Reid and other Congressional Democrats are accusing Vice President Cheney of playing politics with terrorism, and claiming that their party is stronger...

Have the Bush-Haters Sunk So Low as to Abuse Children For Their Ends?

Some things are very hard for me to discuss. The contemptible actions of Jill Greenberg, a free-lance photographer and Bush-hater, fit that description. This bitch - and that is what she is - wanted to make a Statement (say it with hushed tones of awe and reverence) of her hatred for George W. Bush.... Sign in to see full entry.

How did the Times miss this one?

The chagrin must be hanging very heavy indeed in the air at the New York Times (a.k.a. al Qaeda Times ). The Times has exulted in its role as a news source for the Islamic fascists. On at least two occasions, the Times has broken stories about (now-formerly) secret counterterrorism programs,... Sign in to see full entry.

Did Senator Lieberman Betray his Party by Filing Independent?

That’s what the lamestream media and the liberal Democrats would have us believe. Lieberman lost in the Connecticut Democrat primary to far more liberal Ned Lamont, ostensibly on the strength of voter outrage over the war in Iraq.

Update to Yesterday's Post: Reuters Runs More Fraudulent Photos

In addition to knowingly running doctored images of alleged damage and smoke from Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, Reuters tried to pull another fast one on us. An image of an Israeli F16 allegedly firing several missiles at targets in Lebanon was also rigged. The "missile" isn't even that; it's a... Sign in to see full entry.

Photos of Beirut Damage Altered, Credibility of Qana Photos Challenged

In an amazing development in the Hezbollah War, Reuters has admitted that a photograph allegedly depicting damage to Beirut after an Israeli air strike was altered to show more smoke and damage than was actually photographed.

The New Fad: Bush’s Bombs!

Clay Waters has an amazing piece on Newsbusters. He quotes extensively from al Qaeda Times (formerly the New York Times ) reporter Neil MacFarquhar during an interview with Charlie Rose. Asked about the Hezbollah War, MacFarquhar made the following astounding statement: “You know, it just -- you saw... Sign in to see full entry.
