Worst Scandal Imaginable

A Texas company gets billions in taxpayer money to train police in Afghanistan and, it appears, provides services of a very multicultural sort. I’m not even going to quote the story or describe it. It’s bad. Very, very bad. More at Memeorandum and Outside the Beltway.

Terrorist Catch-and-Release: FAIL

Really, does this surprise anyone? 150 former Guantanamo detainees are either “confirmed or suspected of reengaging in terrorist or insurgent activities,” according to a new intelligence assessment released by the Director of National Intelligence’s office on Tuesday. In total, 598 detainees have been transferred out of U.S. custody at Guantanamo. 1 out of every 4, […]

Cell-Phone Pornography Blamed in Rape Attacks on Somali Refugee Women

Associated Press: The three masked gunmen burst into Asha Muse Ali’s tent at night and grabbed every item of value they could find: $85 in cash, a cell phone and a gold ring. Then the attackers embarked on a crime that carries a severe social stigma in this conservative Muslim country: They raped Ali and […]

Clearing the Browser Tabs

Borrowing Jimmie Bise’s meme once more, it’s been a heckuva few days, with offline work stacked up like cordwood, various Dad-the-taxi-driver errands to run, etc., and so many trolls and feminists to smack around.

Jill Filipovic and Amanda Marcotte to Denounce Keith Olbermann in 3, 2, 1 . . .

On his Twitter feed, MSNBC host […]

‘I Feel As If I’m in a Surreal Swedish Movie Being Threatened by Bizarre Trolls’

No, this has nothing to do with Barrett Brown. Rather, the quote is from Mark Stephens, lawyer for Julian Assange, describing his feelings at attempting to get his client off the hook for his not-entirely-consensual hook-ups with two Swedish socialist women. The same quote would also fairly describe my surprise at finding none other than […]

Julian Assange Arrested in London

BBC: The founder of the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks, Julian Assange, has been arrested by police in London. The 39-year-old Australian, who was the subject of a European arrest warrant, denies allegations he sexually assaulted two women in Sweden. . . . Scotland Yard said Mr Assange was arrested by appointment at a London police station […]

The Angry Left Turns Against Obama

Have you ever seen Fatal Attraction? He’s Michael Douglas, the Democrats are Glenn Close, and now it’s bunny-boiling time: Resentments between President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats that began simmering even before their mid-term disaster are nearing a boil on Capitol Hill, as liberals make clear that Obama’s efforts to strike a lame-duck deal with […]
