McCajun? Ugh!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

With all the recent excitement over the Billary-Obama feud, the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primary, and my own early voting in my home state of Florida, I’d almost forgotten about the Louisiana caucuses last night. Michelle Malkin has the (bad) news:
Senator John McCain has won the Republican party’s caucuses in Louisiana while […]

UPDATE: Grodner=Guilty!

Friday, January 18th, 2008

The military-hating lawyer I blogged about in yesterday’s post, Jay Grodner, had his day in court today and here’s what happened according to a reader at Michell Malkin’s blog:
Long story short, he has to pay $600 to a Semper Fi Fund (Marine [Corps] fund for the wounded) and he has to report for Social […]

Troop-bashing lawyer faces the music tomorrow

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

As a veteran (Army) myself, this story rankles me.
Sgt. Michael McNulty, a 26-year-old Marine from Chicago, had his car keyed allegedly by a jerkball lawyer as he visited a friend before he left for his second tour in Iraq.
Charges against the lawyer, 55-year-old Jay Grodner, might be upgraded to a felony, […]

A joke…

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

…or a taste of things to come should Hitlery Clinton win the presidency?
“My name is Hillary and I am so pleased to have most of you on board,” she said. “FAA regulations prohibit the use of any cell phones, Blackberries or wireless devices that may be used to transmit a negative story about […]

Here’s why, Admiral Mullen

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

The MSM succeeded in getting Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff–the highest ranking military man in the U.S. military (remember, he’s outranked by SECDEF and CINC/POTUS)–to admit that he thinks the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay should be closed.
Asked why he thinks Gitmo should be closed, Admiral Mullen says: […]

MoRon Paul

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

All around the town I live, I see Ron Paul 2008 signs. Most of these signs are illegally placed (code violations) in street medians, and on private property (usually properties where the owner lives elsewhere.
I mention this because a Ron Paul supporter posted his/her/its sign at a McDonald’s drive-thru, one I just […]

The “American” Al-Qaida speaks

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Adam Gadahn, the American al-Qaida member, released a video recently. And he sounds a lot like a left-wing blog or website:
“Now we direct an urgent call to our militant brothers in Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula … to be ready to receive the Crusader slayer Bush in his visit to Muslim Palestine […]

John Edwards’ keeps 2004 campaign promise–sort of

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Am I the only one who saw this? Yesterday, I was as glad as anyone to see Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett get up and walk again. For those of you who don’t follow football, the significance of this event is that earlier in the football season, Everett suffered a severe spinal […]

Can we arrest Democrats for the same thing too?

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

The commander of a U.S. military prison in Iraq has been arrested for allegedly “aiding the enemy,” the military said.
U.S. Army Lt. Col. William H. Steele, a senior commander of the Camp Cropper detention center west of Baghdad, has been transferred to Kuwait for the military equivalent of a grand jury proceeding, a military spokeswoman […]

Defeatist Dems throw in towel on Iraq

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Well, they’re making it official now, anyway. At least Harry Reid says so:
The war in Iraq “is lost” and a US troop surge is failing to bring peace to the country, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Congress, Harry Reid, said Thursday.
“I believe … that this war is lost, […]

Oh, the irony

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

This one definitely goes in the “truth-is-stranger-than-fiction” file. Hugh Hefner–THE Hugh Hefner, you know, he of Playboy magazine fame–has donated some cash to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign:
(Hugh) Hefner contributed $2,300 (the maximum allowed in the primary) to Clinton’s campaign on March 28, identifying his occupation on the fundraiser form as “editor-in-chief” […]

Va Tech tragedy brings out anti-gun crowd

Monday, April 16th, 2007

First, our thoughts and prayers go to the family, friends and community at Virginia Tech over today’s horrific tragedy.
Next, it’s not surprising to find the anti-gun crowd are already starting to come out:
Advocates of wider gun controls said the availability of guns in the United States had made it easier for people […]

Tax season can be taxing

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

Yuck, only a couple of days until taxes are due and we still haven’t done ours. So the media is putting out a few stories on the whole tax thing.
The AP has an article on more people filing their taxes online. One interesting thing they noted was that few people are […]

The REAL story slipped through their fingers

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

In their usual attempt to make President Bush look bad, the New York Times makes a rare admission: that desertions were HIGHER during the Clinton administration, when we weren’t at war, than they are now:
The Army prosecuted desertion far less often in the late 1990s, when desertions were more frequent, than it does now, […]

Good one, Faye!

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Yes, at first we were worried and we prayed for the safe return of the 15 British sailors and marines captured by Iran. Then we were thrilled when we heard they’d been released. Then we were upset that they had caved in to their captors’ demands too easily and quickly.
But at […]

Leftists show what they mean by “tolerance”

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

News a few weeks ago about Al Gore’s hypocrisy on global warming and energy use prompted a torrent of abuse upon the organization that discovered it, as well as its employees:
Some e-mails, like Benjamin Greuel’s, reflected anti-religious bias: “Go f–k yourselves you neo con, non-secular, bible thumpin, anti-science dumb (etc.)
Similarly, Anthony Black wrote: […]

Dems scared of Fox News

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Can’t say that I blame them. Why allow yourself to be hit with tough questions like Republicans do on most of the MSM, when you can get softballs tossed at you by the MSM instead?
(Democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein) Obama and (Democratic presidential candidate and former First Lady Hitlery) Clinton aides said […]
