Usama bin Offerin’

Isn’t the real story here that this twisted fanatical prick even thinks such a thing plausible…?

More Teepee for my bunghole

Speaking of identity politics, white guilt, and doubling down on eleven when the dealer shows a 6: Their people once lived in Colorado and now they want to come back. Leaders of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes announced Wednesday they will file a petition with the federal government to recover 27 million acres in eastern Colorado. The tribes say they are willing to settle for less. […] Tribal leaders say

Pro-portionists

Author John Kekes, on the “absurdity of egalitarianism”: the relentless egalitarian propaganda eagerly parroted by the media would have us believe that our society is guilty of dooming people to a life of poverty. What this ignores is the unprecedented success of our society in having less than 13 percent of the population live below a very generously defined poverty level and 87 percent above it.

Save Air America!

(Inspired by Allah, who was himself inspired by Laurence. Somehow this guy’s involved. And him. And him. And those CAIR pricks. And then there’s something about Dawn and a giant spider, but I’m not sure how that fits in.)

Not surprisingly, Josh is concerned (in that furrow-browed, slightly bemused way peculiar to people who wear bicycle shorts and eat lots of Thai takeout) with the President’s lack of nuance: I don’t know how to give a meaningful analysis of

Greetings from Left Field

Q: How many post-colonial theorists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Bush Lied! …Anti-war activist Rahul Mahajan says repeated US military raids into Sunni mosques and madrassahs in Baghdad are not helping us win the hearts and minds of former Ba’athists now posing as poor, put-upon victims of an American imperial occupation. And yes, I think he’s serious. **** [update: Beltway Traffic Jam]

Sound, Fury, Etc., Cont.

Highlights from the 9/11 Commission hearings, April 14. Richard Ben Veniste: “Let me begin by saying, Director Tenet, that I have the utmost respect for the job that you do, and that I applaud your dedicated service to the country. No one is more grateful for the job the CIA does than am I –“ George Tenet: “– I rather doubt that.” Richard Ben Veniste: “– pardon me? I’m not
