The leftosphere is erupting in predictable outrage after the publishing of a transcript of a conversation between the President and then-Prime Minister of Spain José María Aznar, a conversation which took place about a month before the war in Iraq began. Spain’s El País daily newspaper published it, and the Editor and Publisher has a [...]

I’m a bit busy this morning, but wanted to link up quickly to Michael Goldfarb’s post at the Weekly Standard on the revolution happening in Myanmar, as he’s got the latest news. If you’ve read up on this story the last several of days, you’ll see how nasty it’s getting there, with the military beating [...]

I wanted to take a bit of a break from politics to tell you about the tense hostage situation going on in my home. First, I don’t know if I’ve admitted it on this blog before, but I am very afraid of spiders. Have been since I was very young. I’m one of those people [...]

 

It’s “stolen election” preparation time in the mainstream media

Posted by: ST on September 26, 2007 at 4:58 pm » 7 Comments

Remember last year prior to the elections when I blogged about how the media was laying the groundwork to be able to blame a potentially lost election for Democrats on “stolen elections”? Well, because Democrats won the elections last year, we didn’t hear much of anything from liberals about voter fraud because when liberals win [...]

 

Is Lee Bollinger receiving the “Larry Summers treatment” from Columbia? (WEDNESDAY EVENING UPDATE)

I just read over at Jules Crittenden’s blog that Columbia president Lee Bollinger is taking criticism from some of Columbia’s faculty and students post-visit from Ahmadinejad. Apparently, they believe that Bollinger’s opening remarks and questions were “too rude” to Columbia’s guest speaker.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a speech before the Australian Parliament on the 6 year anniversary of 9-11 in which he wrongly suggested that the 9-11 attacks were brought on by America’s alleged “abandoning” of “our fellow human beings to lives of poverty, brutality and [...]

Posted by: ST on September 25, 2007 at 6:40 pm » 11 Comments

I just got done reading this opinion piece written by the NYT’s Bob Herbert, the headline of which reads “The Ugly Side of the GOP” which reads sort of like a fantasy piece for race-baiting Democrats who have sought for decades to make the GOP the party of racism. Here’s a snippet: The G.O.P. has [...]

 

More military hatred in San Fran

The idiocy never stops (emphasis added): SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. 24, 2007 (KGO) – New York said “yes,” but we said “no.” Why were the U.S. Marines denied permission to film a recruiting commercial on the streets of San Francisco? San Francisco is, once again, the center of a controversy over how city leaders treat the [...]
