“Terrorists Entering the US via the Border”

From California Conservative: Going behind the scenes of crime and terror along our southern border, KRGV-TV Newschannel 5 in Texas leads an exclusive investigation and offers this shocking report. “Terrorists in our own backyard, and the government tries to keep it a secre — XENOPHOBES! RACISTS! YOU LIE! LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE!  AND BUSH LIVES IN TEXAS, SO TEXAS LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES! 

“Iraqi Cabinet is Formed”

This is big news, but it isn’t being treated with much excitement by the MSM.  Pajamas media has a small round-up of reaction, including links to

The Rather Effect

Several people have pointed me to Truthout’s “apology” for advancing the Rove indictment story, which Truthout reported on in a way that has (to date) refused to correspond with either a) their enthusiasm for said indictment, or b) any ostensible connection to reality. But—because there is always still the chance Rove will be indicted— Truthout reserves the right to re-claim the scoop, even if they miss the date by, oh,

Ends and means? (UPDATED)

From LGF, an interesting theory regarding yesterday’s attack on Gitmo guard: The earlier report that Guantanamo guards were attacked by inmates while trying to stop a detainee from committing suicide was inaccurate. The guards were lured into a cell by a staged suicide attempt, then ambushed by the prisoners. […] The timeframe on this incident is unclear, but it seems to have coincided with the release of 16 prisoners. Is

My shelves are full, 7

I have 3 2 1 brand new DVDs of Serpico (Al Pacino), 2 1 of the original Bad News Bears (Walter Matthau, Vic Morrow, Tatum O’Neal), and one mint copy of The Towering Inferno (Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden). All great flicks, all must go.  Because I need to clear space for season 2 of “The Rockford Files.” $5 each, which includes first class domestic shipping.  Drop a note

Hey, it’s Friday.  Did you forget something&#8212

—No, I didn’t forget.  But they’ll be no dancing tonight, I’m afraid.  At about 2:30 this afternoon, Patrick Fitzgerald showed up at the house with a pair of federal marshalls and took the little guy into custody, claiming he’d “lied” to the grand jury about his relationship with Judith Miller. Which, from what I understand, was nothing more than a mezcal-fueled one-night stand—the details of which he refused to disclose.

“U.N. Urges U.S. to Shut Guantanamo Prison” (UPDATED)

From ABC News: The United States should close its prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and avoid using secret detention facilities in the war on terror, the U.N. panel that monitors compliance with the world’s anti-torture treaty said Friday. The Committee Against Torture also said detainees should not be returned to any country where they could face a “real risk” of being tortured. The criticism, contained in an 11-page report, followed

BREAKING:  LATEST WORD ON THE IMMINENT KARL ROVE INDICTMENT

Craig Caughman emails:  “Utter bilge.  Saccharine, maudlin cliches. Contrast this with United 93.” Well, I would, but I haven’t seen United 93.  But for those of you who have, here’s your chance to compare the two.

Iran, Iran so far away.  Yes Iran, Iran so far away…

PunkAssBlog (“I’m so punkass that when I speak Truth to Power, Power listens, because it knows if it gets all stubborn and shit, I’ll chuck a brick through a Starbucks’ window just to do it.  If, you know, no cops are around.”) says that Robert Spencer, Charles Johnson, Bryan Preston, Allahpundit and, naturally and especially, yours truly (who for the record has no pretensions to being an Islamic scholar) “lied”
