Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Let there be snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

This blog will pay for itself.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Affirmative Action

As I stated before, giving people points solely because of their race is simply wrong and tantamount to a quota system. At the same time, I stated that “Only the dimmest of bulbs would begin to assert that blacks, in the past, were given a fair shake in our society, and only the equally block-headed would attempt to argue that this has not had profound and long-term effects within black communities,” and thus, acknowledging race inthe admissions process seems to be fair and to make sense. The Supreme Court agrees:

In two split decisions, the Supreme Court on Monday ruled that minority applicants may be given an edge when applying for admissions to universities, but limited how much a factor race can play in the selection of students.

The high court struck down a point system used by the University of Michigan, but did not go as far as opponents of affirmative action had wanted. The court approved a separate program used at the University of Michigan law school that gives race less prominence in the admissions decision-making process.

The Constitution “does not prohibit the law school’s narrowly tailored use of race in admissions decisions to further a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body,” Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote.

I will be waiting for an apology for those of you who called Bush a liar when he stated the point system was essentially a quota system. I will also be waiting for the apology from those of you who called people racists for pointing this out.

New Mark Steyn

Screw Harry Potter- the new Mark Steyn column is up and it is free:

It’s mullah time! The question now is whether Iran’s ayatollahs and the original ”Islamic republic” can survive the summer, or whether President Bush will mark the second anniversary of Sept. 11 with two-thirds of his axis of evil consigned to the trash can of history.

That would be a remarkable achievement, by any measure save that of Democratic presidential candidates such as John Kerry, who seems to be running as the French foreign minister (a niche market of limited appeal even among Dem primary voters, one would think). Senator Kerry will continue to insist it’s all a disaster and possibly a cover-up, too. But over in North Korea, the third member of the axis will get the picture. For one thing, it’s hard to be an effective axis when there’s just one of you.

Is there anyone who doesn’t think that John Kerry is a smug, condescending liar who wants to be on every side of an issue? Anyone? Ok, except Theresa Heinz, is there anyone.

By now you have heard, ad nauseum, all the details of the non-looting of the museum in Baghdad. Here is an extra little piece of info that you perhaps had not heard before:

How much was taken is a matter of heated debate. The museum’s director of research, Donny George, told all who would listen that an astonishing 170,000 objects — almost the museum’s entire collection — was gone, a historic cultural loss. Mr. George accused American soldiers of turning a blind eye.

Now, it seems most valuable objects were taken out of the museum for safekeeping before the war began. While there was looting in the chaotic days that followed, Mr. George seems to have overstated the extent of it — and neglected to mention that one reason the Americans didn’t defend the museum was that it was apparently being used as a base by Iraqi snipers.

Ahh, the press.

On the whole, a very fair and well-written newsitorial in the NY Times:

In fact, a review of the president’s public statements found little that could lead to a conclusion that the president actually lied on either subject. But more pertinent than whether the president told the literal truth is what factors he stressed and which ones he played down.

Certainly, a strong argument can be made that he exaggerated the danger posed by banned Iraqi weapons when he was trying to convince the country and Congress of the need for a pre-emptive strike and that he overemphasized the benefits to people of modest means when he was trying to sell his tax cut.

Which is what I have been saying for months. He hasn’t lied- he may have exaggerated, and in the end, he and everyone else (including all the Democrat Senaotrs who once agreed Iraq had WMD) may have been wrong, but he hasn’t lied.

In the speech in March, on the eve of war, Mr. Bush declared, “Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.”

There is no evidence the president did not believe what he was saying. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and other Democrats said last week that intelligence briefings they received justified Mr. Bush’s statements.

Democrats- calling him stupid had more traction than calling him a liar. You see where that got you.

A Government Program I like

by | 5 Comments

I like this. Lots:

The Federal Trade Commission by the end of this month will begin taking requests from consumers who want their phone numbers made off-limits to telemarketers.

The federal plan is similar to programs in more than two dozen states where consumers can place their phone numbers on so-called do-not-call registries. Those programs appear to have effectively curbed some unwanted telephone solicitations.

Under the new federal rules, telemarketers who call phone numbers that have been listed on a nationwide do-not-call registry database will be subject, beginning on Oct. 1, to fines of up to $11,000 for each violation.

This concept has become more popular as technology has allowed companies to pitch their wares to millions of consumers over telephone, e-mail, and now even mobile phones.

I absolutely hate it when I get calls from telemarketers on my cell phone during peak hours. Just infuriates me.
