OCTOPUS Tells The AMA How It Is

by Smitty Ol’ Cousin TO President, United States (I just had the acronym machine calibrated), who was brilliant last weekend here in DC, sends some rather pointed mail to the American Medical Association:

Karl Rove, the Bush Dynasty, and the GOP Elite’s Push for ‘Immigration Reform’

Steve Sailer attempts to explain the otherwise inexplicable disaster: On the personal side, George and Barbara Bush employed a live-in Mexican maid, Paula Rendon, of whom W. has said, “I have come to love her like a second mother.” He went on to employ another Mexican immigrant, Maria Galvan, to raise his two daughters. Younger brother […]

Second-Best Blog Headline of the Day

SEC Employees Were Masturbating to Kiddie Porn While Your Economy Tanked And the sad thing is, it’s not a joke: Two video files found on [a gay SEC employee’s] computer were referred to the FBI because investigators suspected that the men depicted having sex in them were underage.

The move followed boisterous demonstrations outside that sponsors of the appearance feared could turn violent. Mark Steyn will no doubt have something blistering on this one, but […]

McCotter sure is a lot more fun when he isn’t speaking through contained fury. Update: Trifecta talks about […]

Your Next Round Of Goreflakes

by Smitty Seablogger has an interesting post on Eyjafjallajökull (eye-uh-fyalla-yoe-kull, or so) over in Iceland. A really jolly eruption, in a worst case scenario, could bring about a sequel to the Year Without Summer. As fragile and interconnected as globalization has made things, much less than that could be worrisome. This post was actually prompted […]
