Twin Towers movie trailer

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”

Okay, but if it doesn’t happen tomorrow, I’m not going to hold the front page any longer… (UPDATED)

From TalkLeft: “Another Internet Report of Karl Rove Indictment”: Wayne Madsen, whom I have not read previously, is reporting there will be an announcement of Karl Rove’s indictment Friday. His story somewhat tracks Jason’s Leopold’s article, except he says the meeting at Luskin’s office Friday was not for 15 hours, Rove wasn’t given 24 hours to get his affairs in order and he adds that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales met

“The yin and yang of intimate interpersonal relationships post, 24” (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)

yin: “You know what I think would be romantic? If we went away together for the weekend.  Maybe—oh, I dunno—stayed at a bed and breakfast up in the mountains or something.” yang: yang: “Listen:  If you don’t want to wake up early to cook me my omelet and hashbrowns Sunday, just say so.  But I’m not gonna piss away a couple hundred bucks to stay at some stranger’s place just

“Can Immigration Reform Work? A father of immigrants has a few practical questions”

Lawrence Lidsey, former chief economic adviser to President Bush and current president and CEO of the Lindsey Group, addresses some of the questions raised by immigration reform stalwarts, and notes that a short-term pragmatic approach, in this case, may just prove to be the best long-term move toward ideological consistency.  From The Weekly Standard (May 22, 2006): […] [R]elevant to today’s immigration debate is that I am also the father

Da’wa songs Glenn Miller played…

In last week’s post, “An Islamic Declaration of War?”, I (and a number of other bedwetters and paste-eaters) tried to divine (sorry) the intent behind Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s letter to President Bush—a letter that Robert Spencer noted at the time was curiously like a da’waan Mohammedan mandate required before waging war against unbelievers. Today, we’re again confronted with the prospects of a letter from Ahmadinejad, this one to be addressed

Tarring the “Tar-Baby” Tarrers

Several people have emailed to ask if I’m going to comment on the first of what will doubtless be a string of risible attacks on new Press Secretary Tony Snow, namely, this piece of nonsense from Think Progress: Date: May 16, 2006 To: White House Press Secretary Tony Snow From: ThinkProgress.org Re: The use of the term “tar baby Today in your first press briefing you referred to the term

“‘Kos’ makes TV political ad debut” (UPDATED)

Oh.  The humanity Writes Allah of the streaming video, “try to imagine what the moonbat hordes would say if Glenn Reynolds or Hugh Hewitt was involved in an ad this dumb.” And TKS’s Jim Geraghty …well, he seems as in awe of this thing as I am: It seems to me to be a form of a Public Service Announcement, warning that if you run against a hawkish Democrat [in

“Senate OKs Border Fence, Mulls Citizenship”

From Breitbart / AP: The Senate voted to build 370 miles of triple-layered fencing along the Mexican border Wednesday and clashed over citizenship for millions of men and women who live in the United States illegally. Amid increasingly emotional debate over election-year immigration legislation, senators voted 83-16 to add fencing and 500 miles of vehicle barriers along the southern border. It marked the first significant victory in two days for

My first brief conversation with a plate of Szechwan-style pork

me: “So.  Any last words?” szechwan-style pork: me:  “Eh, just as well.  Because I’m freakin’ starving, brother.” szechwan-style pork: me:  “Anyway—CHARGE!”
