It Was Not Until I Went Looking for a Photo to Illustrate This Post …

. . . that I stumbled onto this photo of Baldilocks, Darleen Click and Little Miss Attila: You see, it was a little past 1 a.m. this morning, and I’d just gotten the URL for my column at The American Spectator, which was written Sunday afternoon. What I was looking for was a photo to […]

Showing Any Public Figure Crucified Is As Tasteless As Burning The Qur’an

by Smitty An interesting discussion came up today regarding the idiot in Florida who burned the Qur’an, and the resulting deaths in MeS, just north of me by a couple of hours. Burning anyone’s scripture is deplorable. Double deplorable for anyone nominally a follower of the Christ. Do you really think He’d do such? Really? […]

Three Cheers For Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen

by Smitty Via CNS News: The chair of the U.S House Foreign Affairs Committee said Monday she will introduce legislation that makes U.S. funding for the United Nations contingent on reform.

Cubachi Assesses Sarah Palin’s Trip To Israel As A ‘Run’ Indication

by Smitty So what do I make of this visit? It’s a sign that she is running for 2012, and that she wants to reaffirm her commitment to Israel. It’s nice to see that we have some political leaders that recognize the importance of Israel. A very nice contrast to the current Commander-in-Chief. My points […]

Of Pundits And Palin

by Smitty The men-striation of the pundits who, more or less monthly, have to remind us that Sarah Palin is horrible–but don’t call them misogynist–remains a source of amusement. Get stuffed, George Will: Asked if the GOP would remain the party of ideas if Palin captures the nomination, Will said: “The answer is emphatically no.” […]
