Imagine for a moment the press in this country covering WWII as they have the Iraq war.
Yep..Just imagine.

My posting this video is not meant in any way to imply that Democrats as a whole have driven the rhetoric in the media.

Thanks to The Anchoress for bringing it to our attention.
200 people agreed to freeze in place at a specific time for a specific time. Watch the reactions of everyone else and the applause when the time is up.

It’s always a good idea to warn people of potential risks, right?

Well, maybe:
Apparently they had these on the tube for ages. But they had the opposite effect.
Thieves would watch as people walked past, read the sign and check that their wallet was still there.

No matter your age, a few thoughts of days gone by can produce a laugh or stir a memory.
I received the following in an email today and thought I’d share.
My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn’t [...]

This report from Sacred Heart University reinforces the lack of confidence the public has in media reporting:

Melissa Murphy offers a great round-up of No’s.

Check it out..chock full [...]

Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel offer their predictions of what we should expect in 2008 here.
Cal: In the immortal wisdom of baseball great Casey Stengel, “Never make predictions, especially about the future.” Yet what fun is political punditry if you can’t look into the crystal ball every once in a while?
Bob: Besides, if politics [...]

While the Mid-West has been suffering from severe winter storms that have cut off their power, and now the Northeast is getting storms, we in SC are still praying for rain.
This week has had temperatures ranging from the low 70’s to the low 80’s and today we set the all-time record of low water. [...]

How refreshing.
Michael Barone at Real Clear Politics:
The world looks safer, friendlier, more hopeful than it did as we approached Christmastime last year.

Imagine for a moment, the type of high journalistic standards we should expect in this country, then watch this:

Yep, she really did call the President of the United States a monkey. Nice try to attempt to cover it up with the monkey in the middle line but I am sorry, it doesn’t cut it.
What [...]

This photo was taken by by a Japanese moon probe orbiting the moon.
Just look at the detail. You can see shadows and craters and of course, that beautiful marble-looking planet called Earth.

I’ve heard of good luck charms in many forms but never one such as this:
The family of man who held a fragment of a more than 1,000-year-old manuscript of the Hebrew Bible for six decades as a good luck charm will present it to a Jerusalem institute next week, officials said Thursday.
The parchment, about “the [...]

This post at Iraqpundit is stunning:
Frankly, I don’t understand why so many mock us for wanting a future for Iraq. Is your hatred for George Bush so great that you prefer to see millions of civilians suffer just to prove him wrong?
It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a [...]

I ran across this article today, and my soul is aching.
A claim by President Ahmadinejad that Iran has 3,000 working uranium-enriching centrifuges sent a tremor across the world yesterday amid fears that Israel would respond by bombing the country’s nuclear facilities.

Just thought you’d like to know:
Apparently, part of our national character — optimism — keeps us from interpreting feedback accurately.

Are these people filled with that much hatred or are they simply “preaching to the choir?
Either way, I pity them.
