How Hollywood “honors” our troops
Idiocy, thy name is the Academy Awards ceremony. Amy Proctor has the details.
When it comes to national security, Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) simply cannot be trusted
That’s not new news to anyone who is a longtime reader of this blog – and heck, for that matter, anyone who reads a newspaper. When he was an unranked member of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Jay Rockefeller admittedly took a trip to three Middle Eastern countries – including Iraq ally Syria – and alerted them to his belief that the President had “already made up his mind” to go to war with Iraq. In 2005, after the NYT broke a story about the President’s use of warrantless wiretaps -which the NYT of course tried to portray as illegal, Rockefeller tried to act like he had been “helpless” to stop it, even though he’d known what was going on since 2003, and last year accused the President of “lying” about Iran’s nuclear intentions, even though anyone with a shred of a clue knows that Iran is not playing around when it talks about wanting to reconstitute its weapons program.
Blogosphere news and notes
There were two big announcements earlier today at the Hot Air website. One was that Bryan Preston was leaving the site to produce the Laura Ingraham show. The other was to announce that Captain Ed was joining the Hot Air crew.
Stupid polls at CNN.com are nothing new (MORE: HAS HILLARY HIT ROCK BOTTOM?)
There’s a minor uproar developing in the blogosphere over a poll CNN.com had on their website which asked the following question: “Does Barack Obama show the proper patriotism for someone who wants to be president of the United States?” Ben Smith at The Politico has a screen cap of the poll. At the time he wrote his post, the poll was on CNN.com’s main page, but there’s a “quick poll” question there now about last night’s Oscars.
