“France Cracks Down on Illegal Immigrants”
Thursday, August 31st, 2006Oh those enlightened Europeans:
For dozens of illegal immigrant families, a gymnasium outside Paris has become a temporary home. They sleep shoulder-to-shoulder, their dingy mattresses piled high with necessities and small treasures: cooking pans, diapers, stuffed animals.
The families, mostly Africans, were evicted from France’s largest squat on Aug. 17. Riot police stormed the building _ [...]
Compassion, Liberal Style
Thursday, August 31st, 2006Here is what happens when the most hateful, ignorant people on the planet get to play dress up:
In Death Of A President, which will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival later this month (SEPT)before being shown on Channel 4’s satellite channel More4 in October, the assassination is a starting point for a retrospective fictional documentary [...]
Irresponsible Journalism
Thursday, August 31st, 2006This is unbelievable:
Rumsfeld: War critics are like Nazi appeasers
Why is it that liberals must always engage in strawmen or lies when issues are discussed?
And by always, I mean, every, single, time.
Rumsfeld’s speech, in which he never calls war critics appeasers, is here.
Anyway, a good take down on this sort of nonsense at QandO.
[EDIT: Our commenters [...]
They won’t need (fmr Sen) Edwards to do any channeling on this one..
Thursday, August 31st, 2006The lone air traffic controller on duty the morning Comair Flight 5191 crashed had only two hours of sleep before starting work on the overnight shift, a federal investigator said Wednesday.
National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said the controller had only nine hours off between work shifts Saturday. That was just enough to meet [...]
Chafee vs. Laffey: Columnist Just Doesn’t Get It
Thursday, August 31st, 2006Whoever this columnist is, she should really do more research:
Is Lincoln Chafee’s fight for political survival a Republican version of the Joe Lieberman story? No, though there are parallels. Both senators angered their parties’ bases, thus unleashing serious primary challenges. Lieberman lost the Connecticut Democratic primary to businessman Ned Lamont, and is now running as [...]
And Once Again, The UN Blames Israel
Thursday, August 31st, 2006Just another day at the anti-Israel, anti-American United Nations:
The United Nations on Wednesday described as “shocking and immoral” the fact that Israel dropped well over 90 per cent of its cluster munitions in Lebanon during the last three days of the conflict – when it was already clear there would be a cessation of hostilities.
Jan [...]
More “Support” for the Troops
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Hopefully like John Kerry’s political future that slogan is dead. It was never true, just another gimmic by the party of hate and defeat trying to fool the electorate.
PARKLAND, Wash. — The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is searching for five people who allegedly attacked a uniformed National Guardsmen walking along 138th Street in Parkland [...]
Senator Irresponsible: Sen. Ted Stevens
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Honestly, if this guy would just retire tomorrow, it wouldn’t be too soon:
After much speculation, a staffer to Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, admitted to Cox Newspapers today that the senator is the lawmaker who placed a “secret hold” on legislation that would open up the obscure world of government contracting to public scrutiny.
Until now, it [...]
CNN’s Potty Reporter
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006How do you think her day is going today?
Kyra Phillips, anchor of CNN’s “Live From…,” unwittingly upstaged President George W. Bush’s speech in New Orleans with on-the-air analysis of her husband and the marriage of her brother — all live from a CNN ladies room.
Unaware that her wireless microphone was “live” during her break, Phillips [...]
The Perilous Times in Which we Live
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Hugh Hewitt has a good post today on Rumsfeld’s speech yesterday:
Rumsfeld and others are attempting to prevent the country from slipping into a sort of historical coma, one which will allow the country to avoid confronting the world in which we live, and one in which certain very unpleasant events –bombings, rampages, plots– would not [...]
“MIT’s inconvenient scientist”
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006I love stuff like this. So revealing about the liberal mindset:
I sat in a roomful of journalists 10 years ago while Stanford climatologist Stephen Schneider lectured us on a big problem in our profession: soliciting opposing points of view. In the debate over climate change, Schneider said, there simply was no legitimate opposing view to [...]
California: Wave Bye Bye to More People
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Banana Republic:
The Democratic-controlled Legislature is on the verge of sending Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger a bill that would create a state-run universal health care system, testing him on an issue that voters rate as one of their top concerns in this election year.
On a largely party-line 43-30 vote, the Assembly approved a bill by state Sen. [...]
Part of the Jihad?
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006As many as 14 people were injured this afternoon by a motorist who drove around San Francisco deliberately running them down before being arrested by police, who believe the same driver struck and killed a man earlier today in Fremont.
…
Within a half-hour, San Francisco police had cornered and arrested 29-year-old Omeed Aziz Popal, who has [...]
