http://showcase.mu.nu/archives/056823.php Showcase is a place where new blogs can post entries to get some visibility, today I was showcased. In an egregarious oversite I forgot to linkback last night, I apologize to the dishonor I bring upon myself and my house.
The new NBC anchor Brian Williams doesn’t seem to like us bloggers very much, or think we serve any useful purpose. What would you expect from someone working for a fossilized network news show? Williams, 45, is capable of showing good humor and a dry wit in public. When Time magazine held a lunch...
Dan Rather, quoted in the Hollywood Reporter: “Ed Murrow’s ghost is here. I’ve seen him and talked to him on the third floor of this building many times late at night. And I can tell you that he’s watching over us.” Dan must be loopy on phony document printing press fumes. I have it...
Have you ever listened to Glenn Beck (http://GlennBeck.com) on AM talk radio? I think he’s one of the most-talented guys on radio, and I share his conservative bent. He always makes me think, and I appreciate the energy he puts into his program. When it comes to women, Glenn is blind. He believes women...
When Jesse Jackson shows up, you know you can rest easy, because everything will be made fair. Okay, with that laugh out of the way… The Reverend-who-should-read-the-Ten-Commandments-more-often is disputing the counting of votes in Ohio because it must have been crooked. The reason? Kerry lost. Yep, we’re back to the “disenfranchised voter” thing, which...
Former WA senator and governor Daniel Evans explains why hand recounts are not accurate, and why one should not be done in the still undecided Washington governor’s race. First, with the advances in our procedures and training, the system we just used (combination hand/machine count) is more accurate than a pure hand count would...
I’m not at all convinced that this is a victory for gay marriage, as the media and gay marriage groups seem to be spinning it. What this decision does is allow the individual states to decide for themselves whether or not to allow gay marriage. The majority of Americans are opposed to it, and...
So Iran has finally admitted what anybody with any common sense already knew. They have no intention of permanently ceasing their atomic weapons program. Since they’ve stated they were only halting uranium enrichment while “negotiations” were ongoing, there is no need for those talks to continue. The next step should be to devise and...
LEFTISTS: PRO-DARWIN OR ANTI-DARWIN? Whichever suits at the time, of course The recent success of Christians in getting school textbooks to point out that evolution is merely a scientific theory — not something totally grounded in replicable fact — has enraged Leftists no end. As far as I can gather, the tiny success that...

We know the story. Massachussettes “found” a right to gay marriage in their Constitution by apparently using a weegee (yes, it’s grossly mispelled but sorry, I don’t keep up with pagan practices to know correct spelling, I’ve never seen it in print to remember) board. The Supreme Court declined to overturn that truly idiotic...
He defends Rather based on the fact that people treated him as guilty until proven innocent. Well, we know the docs were forged and he was the public face behind them. What do you expect? Whe it turned out some alleged claims about Iraqi WMD weren’t apparently true Bush got blamed, despite the fact...
Diplomad has this article, Mine Furor, on the ongoing controversy about the US not signing on to the Landmine treaty. It expands on what I’ve always thought and said, that the US isn’t a problem in this regard and that we shouldn’t sign treaties just because they are pretty. Diplomad takes this analysis much...
Rightwingsparkle has this on an ABC news article that talks about evangelical Christians and voting. Specifically it talked to Coral Ridge Ministries, a not small outfit out of Florida, where they are quoted as saying some pretty silly things. I get their e-mails from time to time because I managed to get on their...

Apparently being a litigious bastard has consequences afterall.
Blogs for Bush has this on a NYPost article suggesting Congress may cut UN funding to encourage reform in the organization. Well, it’s about time guys. How many scandals between Oil-for-Food and rape in the Congo will it take to spur these guys into action? The UN is accountable to no one, it is...
This Week With The Swings “The Fat Machine” and “Fight or Kiss” http://www.fromthepen.com/swings/
Speculation is buzzing with Rehnquist not returning to the court while he is recovering at home. The one thing that will be interesting to see is if and when he does retire (and I think he probably will after the inauguration) whether the Dems will fillibuster a replacement. If Rehnquist is replaced with a...
Backcountry Conservative writes that reporters have reviewed ballots in Florida and found not conspiracy. This directly contradicts these scholars who from their ivory towers in California have claimed vote fraud in Florida. Nice try guys… do come again. Hat tip: Backcountry Conservative
Iran is funding suicide bombers, here and doesn’t seem to be that widely reported. In a nutshell, some high up officials in Iran are involved with recruiting, training, and sending suicide bombers into Iraq and Israel. This should be more widely known because if and when we go into there, it ought to be...
