Former CIA mole in Iranian military speaks out on what he knows, at Pajamas Media. Whatever will the Proggs say about this fundamentalist millenarianism? It is not an exaggeration to claim that the radicals belonging to the secretive society called “Hojjatieh,” who are devoted to the 12th Imam, have taken control of all vital positions in Iran. Ayatollah Janati, the head of the Guardian Council in charge of interpreting the

Patrick Ruffini, a John McCain supporter (natch), has stopped worrying about the disporportionate attention Barack Obama gets from the establishment media (by a greater than 2:1 margin last week): It’s probably not a wise use of the McCain campaign’s time to try and dominate the news cycle and the public consciousness in the same way Obama does, but rather to ensure that in an election that can easily be summed up

The story’s over at Power Line. Nothing particularly romantic about them, I guess. You may recall that at the time of the raid, Chavez stentoriously denied that any information on the computers pertaining to him would be valid, and that it was a set-up. Later, Interpol verified that none of the files had been altered, but that didn’t stop the ridiculous fulmination at the site for “Global Research,” based in

Today’s New York Times piece by Adam Nagourney on the internal politics of Camp McCain is best read in conjunction with yesterday’s NYT column from Bill Kristol. In the latter, Kristol touts his friend — and long-time McCain confidante — Mike Murphy as the man who not only can tell McCain when he’s made a mistake (a sort valuable to any candidate, probably doubly so to the stubborn McCain), but

For the contrast: We need lots of prayers tonight for a clean MRI tomorrow and for continued peace for Eric and I. Matthew’s one year MRI is only about 14 hours away. Most aggressive brain cancers will return within a year if treatment hasn’t worked, so this is a really important milestone. – Eric and I are a little moody today, not for any reason other than fear of the

If one child’s life is saved by these measures, they’re worth it . . . Modesto police said a missing 14-year-old girl was found safe in the trunk of a car belonging to a registered sex offender. Officers said the family of the girl had filed a missing child report around 3:00 a.m. Saturday, hours after she was last seen at her home in Modesto. Authorities found her after a

Prius to be fitted out with solar panels: Toyota’s goal is to sell at least 1 million hybrid cars a year in the early part of the next decade by offering the fuel-saving system on more vehicles. However, solar power is not seen as a viable way to power cars. Independent tests on Prius cars have shown that they could travel no more than a paltry 15 kilometres a day

I don’t type as fast as Dan, so you get bonus coverage of the seemingly cozy relationship between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MD) and the unabashedly Marxist-Leninist terrorists of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). That Pelosi was staking out “an alternative Democratic foreign policy” with respect to Syria and Iran was already known.  These continuing revelations about the Dems’ contacts with FARC are news, but

From Gateway Pundit: New information reveals that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was indirectly sending messages to the FARC. The Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is designated as a terrorist group by the US government. Speaker Pelosi was doing this while at the same time she refused to bring a free trade agreement with Colombia up for a vote in the US House. In fact, Pelosi took extraordinary steps
