Justice Sam Alito confirmed!

Posted 31 Jan 2006 in illegal immigration, liberals, Republicans, SCOTUS

The vote: 58-42 So now it’s official. Senator Kennedy, along with the other Senate Democrats who made this process way more painful than necessary, and all you Kos-sacks… can just eat it. Samuel Anthony Alito Jr., the son of an Italian immigrant and a longtime lawyer, prosecutor and judge, was confirmed as the 110th Supreme Court justice in one of the most partisan votes for a high court nominee in modern history. Yessss. John Hawkins at Right Wing News puts it pretty well: If you’re conservative, this is a day worth celebrating for 3 reasons… #1) Given that the Supreme Court has managed to slip it’s tentacles into almost every facet of American life, Supreme Court Justices are incredibly...

Airport security news

Posted 31 Jan 2006 in humor

From Kender’s Musings: At New York’s Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,” Gonzales said. “They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’,...

Rodney King, part deux?

Posted 30 Jan 2006 in racism

This morning, police in St. Louis roughed up a suspect who led them on a high-speed chase through morning traffic, narrowly missing school busses, bystanders and patrol cars. (my emphasis added below in these stories) Highway Patrol will investigate arrestST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCHMaplewood police said today that the Missouri State Highway patrol will take over the investigation of how a suspect was subdued by police this morning after a chase from Maplewood into St. Louis. At a news conference this afternoon, Maplewood Police Chief Jim White commented on the conduct of officers seen beating and kicking a suspect this morning, saying: “There is no doubt force was applied,” White said, noting that the real question is, “Was the force appropriate...

In the grand tradition of Jane Fonda

Posted 29 Jan 2006 in Bill Clinton, Democrats, George W. Bush, Iraq, liberals, stupidity, war

Yahoo!/AP caption: In this photo released by Venezuela’s Miraflores Press, Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez embraces visiting U.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, during his national broadcast ‘Hello President’ in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2006. Chavez said Sheehan told him that ‘soon, in Holy Week, she is going to put up her tent again in front of Mr. Danger’s ranch,’ referring to U.S. President George W. Bush. Sheehan gained international notoriety last year when she set up a protest camp near Bush’s Texas ranch. (AP Photo/Miraflores Press, Francisco Batista) Is this the mainstream Democrat party? Looks like it’s par for the course for Liberals to travel to foreign countries and make anti-American statements or...

Damn you to where?

Posted 27 Jan 2006 in humor

From the Department of Reduncency Department: When people get really angry (like Charleton Heston did at the end of Planet Of The Apes) they say “damn you to hell!” Why do they say that? Is there some other place to be damned to? Like “damn you to Baskin-Robbins!”

Try not to gouge out your eyes

Posted 26 Jan 2006 in pop culture

I saw something today which reminded me of the absent Hector Vex. Try it, it’ll brighten, amuse, um… well… click the link and see what it does to your day. Just try to retain bladder control. (h/t: Villainous Company) —UPDATED to add the picture. But I still just don’t see why the Germans worship David Hasselhoff.

Another spoonful of irony

Posted 26 Jan 2006 in Bill Clinton, Democrats, dhimmitude, liberals, military, Patriot Act, political correctness, stupidity, terrorism, war

Times change. And apparently, so do the standards on the Left: (A bit of insight from Terence Jeffrey, courtesy of jcrue at DoublePlusGood) When Al Gore ran for president in 2000, he said, “Our Constitution is a living and breathing document” that changes its meaning over time. This week, we learned that among the things changing in Gore’s Constitution is the war power. It meant one thing when Bill Clinton was president, but means another thing now.  Seven years ago, then-Vice President Gore supported Clinton in launching a war Congress didn’t authorize. Now, he says the Constitution denies President Bush the power merely to intercept an enemy’s communications in and out of the United States — without permission from...
