Dishonoring A Death

This popped up on Facebook today, and I have to say, I’m a bit appalled. A Facebook friend provides the narrative: “Struggles with his faith” may have been “an indirect cause, at least,” says one activist. This wasn’t some youngster that had been bullied.

Meme Alert! Newt Is Dumb!

Andrew Sullivan – The Rose Colored Glasses Conundrum… Or, The Man-Crush That Just Won’t Die!

Sullivan writes:   I rather glibly wrote recently that one reason president Obama has not opened a can of rhetorical whup-ass on those actually seeking the default of the US Treasury, is that he wants to avoid the “angry black man” trope.

Meme Alert! – “The Adults in the Room”

It’s here. It’s here. It’s here. And it’s here. Why do I keep hearing my own teen-age voice begging to borrow the car and screaming “I’m an Adult now!”. Look, the more you insist and feel you have to remind everyone you’re “the adult in the room”… It simply shows you are anything but! Democrats [...]

A Political Reminder.

Just so it doesn’t get lost in the recent Bin Laden hoopla, then Presidential hopeful Barack Obama said this concerning Pakistan: “There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans.
