Activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Wednesday as she led about 50 protesters to a White House gate Wednesday to deliver anti-war petitions she said were signed by 80,000 Americans. The Berkeley, Calif., woman [uh], whose son was killed in Iraq more than two years ago, was arrested along with three other women on the sidewalk outside the White House gate, said Lt. Scott Fear, a U.S. Park Police spokesman. They

Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Stop yer sobbin’. We’re real liberals; we can take it. A Technorati search of the blogosphere indicates that the McCaul report (pdf) was referenced at Gates of Vienna by PJ Media and then blipped out of sight. That’s a pretty big item to be disappearing from general view. According to this article at Investor’s Business Daily (11/06/06): The McCaul report found that hundreds

Of course, an alternate explanation for yesterday’s events is that we are so insanely confident in our abilities in the War on Terror that we’re even willing to put Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in charge of the Congress.  Kind of like playing the second string in a college football blowout.  Garbage time, as it were.  With the added mockery of having the misogynistic bastards getting beaten up by a

than most people do by, um . . . 8 am! Hizbullah terrorists are free to roam at night without fear of being identified by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), according to a report by the German paper Der Spiegel. Spanish UNIFIL official Richard Ortax admitted to the paper that no patrols are carried out at night “because of the danger involved.” UNIFIL commanders said their function

Obviously, Jeff and most of the PW community (trolls excepted) would have preferred that fewer voters had decided to cheer up senior members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Islamic Jihad and Hamas—particularly when Hamas coincidentally decides to call for an attack on American targets the next day.  But the midterm election results should be viewed in perspective. The Washington Post –like most of the media—is portraying the outcome as

Well, we all know how the election turned out.  And, as if we didn’t know, the trolls are coming by to drop turds in the comments telling us all about it.  I’m sure we’ll get a few hits on this post.  They can’t help themselves. I was a one-issue voter this time, just like in 2004.  From all appearances, the Democrats are unserious about the war in Iraq and the

Top of the http://news.yahoo.com/ link is a long banner: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to step down. Whaaaaa? A short story here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/rumsfeld_resigns Republican officials say Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is stepping down. Word comes a day after the Democratic gains in the election, in which Rumsfeld was a focus of much of the criticism of the Iraq war. More: Bush is LIVE on ABC News now.  Link is on

Let’s just call it the Pelosi / Reid / Murtha / post-Rumsfeld factor.  From My Way News: Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal said Wednesday that a truce with Israel is finished and his group’s militants can resume fighting following an Israeli tank attack that killed 18 Palestinians. Militants will answer the deaths with “deeds, not words,” Mashaal told a news conference in the Syrian capital. “The truce (with Israel) ended at

Crap.  In India. India’s Supreme Court is to review the fate of 300 monkeys captured roaming on the streets of the capital, Delhi. The court had ordered that the monkeys be relocated to forests in central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. But the animals are proving unpopular there and locals there have lodged an official objection to the plan. Thousands of monkeys roam Delhi, mostly around government offices, and are

Each and every conservative associated in any way with Republicans will soon be subject to a thorough sexuality check, Nancy Pelosi’s office announced today.  “We can’t have any conservative gays in our government.  It’s just not right,” the soon-to-be Speaker added.  “We can’t have any gays wandering off the reserv . . . getting out of the ghet . . . uh, associating themselves with Conservatism.  Except for Andrew Sullivan.”
