Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

If you have children who watch Nickelodeon, especially in the early hours of the morning, this post from Army Wife Toddler Mom is one which is a must read:
NICKELODEON IS BRAINWASHING YOUR CHILD
Linda Ellerby is the host, that should be enough said.
Pay particular attention to the second and fourth stories.
This Nickeldeon “news” program, [...]

There must have been a tattoo, “Imported from America”

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Thanks Liberty Pundit for pointing us to what might be the most ridiculous story so far this week:
A two-meter shark has been caught in a river in southern Iraq more than 200 km (160 miles) from the sea.
Locals blamed the U.S. military for the shark’s presence.
Tahseen Ali, a teacher, said there was a “75 [...]

Children who are “left behind”

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

If accurate, these statistics are staggering.
- It’s a nickname no principal could be proud of: “Dropout Factory,” a high school where no more than 60 percent of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. That dubious distinction applies to more than one in 10 high schools across America.
“If you’re born [...]

In the words of Tony Snow

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

One of the best things which happened to the Bush administration was Tony Snow becoming Press Secretary, if only for a brief period of time.
Once again, in this interview, we find straight talk from Tony which was customary at press conferences.
On Print Media:
On the newspaper business: “The newspapers have to realize that they are [...]

The Federal Trade Commission, which has declared war on Internet scams, warned consumers on Monday not to open a bogus e-mail that appears to come from its fraud department because it carries an attachment that can download a virus.

Bigfoot alive and well in Pennsylvania??

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

It’s been a while since “Bigfoot” has made an appearance but this video seems to provide “proof” that he/she is alive and well.
Park rangers believe the pictures are that of some sort of a skinny bear. I leave it to you to judge for yourself.

A little Tuesday morning fun!

Rockie fans gracious in defeat

Monday, October 29th, 2007

We have congratulated the Red Sox on their impressive World Series win and deserve it they did, but I found this article which speaks volumes about those who supported the Colorado Rockies.

Many seem to feel indifferent toward all of the present Presidential candidates. I know I have wrestled with the current choices myself.

Don’t Like the Message? Shoot the Messenger

Monday, October 29th, 2007

An aide to Democratic Rep. Neil Abercrombie from Hawaii has criticized the message strategy of the Democrats, apparently to deaf ears.
Democrats are losing the battle for voters’ hearts because the party’s message lacks emotional appeal, according to a widely circulated critique of House Democratic communications strategy.
“Our message sounds like an audit report on defense [...]

Shorter Work Week For Congress

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Remember when the new leadership took over the House we were promised a five day workweek from our Congressmen?
Well, things have changed.
Shortly after winning a majority last year, Democrats triumphantly declared that they would put Congress back to work, promising an “end to the two-day workweek.” And indeed, the House has clocked more time in [...]

A UNC-Chapel Hill journalism professor said John Edwards’ presidential campaign tried to kill a student’s video story about his campaign headquarters.

School Leaders Told What Law Says About Sex Under Age 14

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

Last week I lamented the fact the school board for one of the schools in my home state had voted to allow middle schoolers as young as 11 years old to get birth control pills without having to disclose the reason for the health visit to the parents.
There’s a new twist in the story now [...]

The Phelps Gang which claims an affiliation with an evangelical Christian denomination has finally been taken to court by a fallen Marine’s family.

The Scott Beauchamp/TNR Saga…Michael Yon’s opinion

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Might I say, it is one with which I agree.
Beauchamp is young; under pressure he made a dumb mistake. In fact, he has not always been an ideal soldier. But to his credit, the young soldier decided to stay, and he is serving tonight in a dangerous part of Baghdad. He might well [...]

Here’s What Rangel Has In Store for Us

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Do you earn $200,000 adjusted gross income and are married?

Hillary’s Propaganda Machine

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I ran into an interesting piece in Slate today and thought I’d share it with you:
Politicians don’t call it dissembling, deceiving, or lying. They call it media management, and no administration has practiced this black art better in recent times than that of President Bill Clinton. In his 1998 book, Spin Cycle: Inside the Clinton [...]

How Bobby Jindal Won in Louisiana

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

From a Washington Times editorial is a description of how Bobby Jindal won the governorship of Louisiana without a runoff:
Mr. Jindal ran pledging to reform a corrupt government establishment that includes outgoing Gov. Kathleen Blanco, a Democrat who stumbled over herself prior to and during the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Oxford-educated and elected [...]

Are Democrats Getting Over-Confident?

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

When the late Sen. Paul Tsongas’ wife ran for Congress against an unknown veteran named Jim Ogonowski the conventional wisdom was that Tsongas would win in a cakewalk.
After all, this is Massachusetts, the liberal bastion of American politics.
But something happened. Yes, Mrs. Tsongas won the special election for the seat of Marty Meehan, who [...]
