Posted by: ST on July 22, 2005 at 9:03 pm » 4 Comments

On top of this Thomas Joscelyn piece I linked up with just a few days ago regarding connections between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, here’s another – this time written by both Thomas Joscelyn and Stephen Hayes (a pretty unbeatable and unrefutable combo, if I may say) which discusses yet another AQ/SH link – this [...]

Just coming in over the wires: At least two large explosions rocked the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula early Saturday, killing at least 25 people and injuring 110, police said.

Much more interesting and newsworthy than the lame Nadagate ‘scandal’! In Philadelphia they’re calling it “The Cheese Caper.” A Deputy City Commissioner asked the District Attorney’s office to investigate who passed out flyers on primary election day — May 17 — promising free cheese to voters for particular candidates. The flyers are topped by a [...]

Apparently they got a little sick and tired of Senators like Dick Durbin comparing them to evil regimes. Who better to tell fauxly indignant Senators like Durbin then the people directly affected by his careless and utterly stupid comments? Soldiers from Massachusetts and Hawaii who work at the U.S. military detention facility at U.S. Naval [...]

Perhaps someone in the Denver area will start a campaign for that slogan after reading this: Gov. Bill Owens is weighing in on the debate over an artist given a $5,000 state fellowship grant, after hearing about the works of art that depict sex toys on hooks. “Obviously, this is offensive and in extremely poor [...]

And it was a beautiful thing. A reporter at yesterday’s Blair/Howard press conference asked the following (typical MSM) question: To both Prime Ministers, what was your immediate reaction on hearing that some incidents had occurred, was it here we go again? And do incidents like this, coming just 14 days after the horrific attacks, suggest [...]

Well then just go after his wife and kids. Yesterday, the LA Times wrote this little alarmist piece about Jane Sullivan Roberts, wife of USSC nominee Judge John Roberts. Note the headline: Wife of Nominee Holds Strong Antiabortion Views. Gasp! Well, that’s interesting to know but … what about her husband, you know, the actual [...]
