Time Magazine reports that all this torture has been for nothing — all the CIA needs in order to get all the information they need is a pen, a pad of paper, and a bag of Keebler Soft Batch cookies — or a substitution as determined by the dietary needs of said detainee: The most [...]

TOTUS has been pre-loaded with a speech for the president to choose to deliver while he’s in France next week for the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landing. Due to lax computer security that’s been a trademark of politicians of late, someone managed to get their hands on the speech, excerpts of which are presented [...]

Dodd and Obama’s Oversight: What if a Minor Wants to Charge an Abortion?
Filed Under Politics | Leave a Comment
Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, the mortgage opportunist who allowed AIG bonuses to stay in the stimulus bill and then later bashed the people who got the bonuses (but who was also happy to accept AIG’s campaign donations), demonstrates his priorities in a new campaign ad. In the ad, President Obama touts Dodd’s leadership in [...]

Craig T. Nelson Shrugged
Filed Under Entertainment, Politics | Leave a Comment
Below is a clip from actor Craig T. Nelson’s appearance on the Glenn Beck show. I post this only because it’s refreshing on occasion to see a left-coast actor who hasn’t been donkey-kicked into mental retardation, but I disagree with Nelson on going to jail for not paying taxes. It’s been done, and prison is [...]

The Reason Sotomayor is the First Person of Latino Descent Nominated for the Supreme Court
Filed Under Politics | Leave a Comment
Democrats are hailing Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the first person of Latino descent to be nominated for a seat on the nation’s highest court. It’s implied, loudly, that Latino judges have been, up to now, victims of racism and are only now gaining legal prominence they deserve. What you won’t hear Democrats in DC say [...]

Filed Under Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
Here’s a heads-up for my fellow space geeks: As the 40th anniversary of the moon landing approaches, Popular Mechanics has a very comprehensive feature called “Apollo 11: The Untold Story.” There’s some great audio and video in addition to the stories as well. Update: Just for kicks, here’s the actual CBS coverage of the moon [...]

Broke Government, Deepening Debt, Rising Unemployment and a Spiraling Economy? ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet’
Filed Under Business, Politics, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
Here’s a video of President Obama at a California fundraiser yesterday rattling off a litany of things he’s spending trillions of taxpayer dollars on, culminating in “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” Unfortunately, I believe him: Watch carefully at the 1:30 mark when we find out that we’re paying for the health care of “children of [...]

The Rise of ‘White is Right’ Environmentalism: Where’s Jesse and Al?
Filed Under Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
If I hadn’t have heard it with my own ears I wouldn’t have believed it. A member of the Obama administration said that one way to save the planet from the ravages of global warming may be to harness the “albedo effect” by making the world a whiter place. US Energy Secretary Steven Chu, taking [...]

Most Americans you see spouting Che Guevara propaganda via their clothing and posters have no idea who Che Guevara is or what he did (with the exception of select Obama campaign workers). Most only know him as a fashion fad — so one company has come out with buttons you can wear to assist these [...]

Obama’s World Peace Vision Dramatized in Nature Film
Filed Under Politics, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
Okay, here’s a little game. Pretend the guy in this video is President Obama and the lions are Kim Jong Il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez and others. It looks cute, but really, how long can either this guy literally or the U.S. figuratively expect to get away with doing this kind of thing before both [...]
