AP Covers Tracks Poorly [Dan Collins; UPDATED, way]

Curt at Flopping Aces (PowerLine’s Blog of the Week, after Gay Patriot was Blog of the Month) has the details about how the AP has been tweaking its back stories about the most recent incident of six people being hauled out of a mosque and burned, then shot, in the street in Baghdad.  Kind of like Hillary, come to think of it . . . .  But, see, he’s got

Seasonally Affectively Disorderly [Dan Collins; UPDATED]

Happy Holidays! Boy, this is really going to depress Ace: 95 percent of Americans had premarital sex More than nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had premarital sex, according to a new study. The high rates extend even to women born in the 1940s, challenging perceptions that people were more chaste in the past. “This is reality-check research,” said the study’s author, Lawrence Finer.  “Premarital sex

Happy Political Holidays! [Melissa]

I love the Holiday Season if for no other reason than the politicians are back home or cavorting in New Hampshire, mugging for the cameras and spouting empty platitudes. Mostly, they’re not in Washington, not dripping condescending venom, and not legislating anything. Bliss.

What Wouldn’t You Have Done? [Dan Collins]

As Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to assess a possible presidential candidacy and the contours of a Democratic nomination fight, she has taken another step away from her 2002 vote authorizing President Bush to attack Iraq by saying that she “wouldn’t have voted that way” if she knew everything she knows now. . . . .

People’s Most Beautiful Prediction [Dan Collins]

YOU the readers of People Magazine.  Well, not you, because you don’t read it.  But the People Who Read People, the People Peeps.  Page after page of thumbnail profiles of subscribers to the magazine, because they’re all, y’know . . . beautiful on the inside. Oh, shit.  I’ve just gotten us banned from the Department of the Exterior.

Overpriced Mismanagement [Dan Collins]

Clarice Feldman posted yesterday on the financial mismanagement at Fannie Mae, which, as she notes, is packed with Clinton appointees, and includes this rather staggering information: That article in May of this year indicated that the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight had found not only that oversight of Fannie Mae’s accounting practices were lax but that the agency had fought to keep it that way. quote: Fannie Mae reportedly

Time to Bomb Libya Again [Dan Collins]

A Libyan court has sentenced five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor to death for knowingly infecting hundreds of Libyan children with HIV. . . . . Relatives of the infected children began celebrating in court as the verdict was read out, reports said.
