Too Muslim? Or not Muslim enough?


Posted by Matski on May 12th, 2008

Obama detractors on Left and Right have both taken pains to paint him as a closet Muslim.

I’m Stunned


Posted by Matski on May 1st, 2008

Seriously, I’m stunned. Stunned that I can still be appalled by anything GWB could do/say.
“President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said `mission accomplished’ for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. “And we have [...]

Maybe you trust this man to make smart environmental policy? I wouldn’t:
Representative Anthony D. Weiner, Democrat of Brooklyn and Queens, drives a 2008 Chevrolet Impala, leased for $219 a month. Representative Michael R. McNulty, a Democrat from the Albany area, gets around in a 2007 Mercury Mariner hybrid, a sport utility vehicle, for $816 a [...]

More Sinbad News


Posted by Apocalypse Tom on March 22nd, 2008

A week or two ago, Contrarian got to heart of the ongoing feud between the Hillary Clinton campaign and comedian/former VP choice Sinbad. The conflict began when Sinbad contradicted Clinton’s story about desperate attempts to avoid sniper fire when flying into Tuzla, Bosnia to visit American troops. Contrarian asked:

Paging the Geek Squad


Posted by Bruno on March 22nd, 2008

Apparently the White House IT department is run by trained monkeys:
WASHINGTON - Older White House computer hard drives have been destroyed, the White House disclosed to a federal court Friday in a controversy over millions of possibly missing e-mails from 2003 to 2005.

A. Tom, awesome catch on that all-important Sinbad angle. And what’s even worse about the Clinton campaign? The fact that they’re mobilizing their Rapid Response Team against freakin’ Sinbad. I mean, these people are desperate:
Defending Clinton’s characterization of her Bosnia mission, campaign spokesman Phil Singer kindly provided experts from news stories written about the trip [...]
