Howling Latina: Weeping for Saddam
Someone feels sorry for Saddam: Howling Latina wept as she saw a picture of Saddam Hussein next to the rope that would soon end his life, as posted earlier this evening on the Web site of a national newspaper and thankfully taken down. Hell, I popped popcorn and high-fived my brother when he dropped. Saddam Hussein was the [...]
The Ward View: Why I write. Why I’m staying.
Pen name Ward Smythe gives his explanation as to why he’s sticking around. Perhaps the best quote comes from none other than Mr. Not Larry Sabato himself: I’m glad I read this whole thing, because that was the conclusion I came to when I started NLS. You either have to be a party hack or [...]
The Dr. Isis Initiative
Not Not Jay Hughes has a modest proposal for VRE (with advanced apologies to Jonathan Swift).
Official: Saddam to Be Executed Tonight
Before 10.00pm tonight, by hanging. Methods of execution that won’t be used tonight: electrocution, mustard gas, mutilation in a beef grinder, suffocation, shot behind the head, buried half alive, stoning, mass warfare… you get the point. Justice will be served. Sic Semper Tyrannis. UPDATE: Here’s another method I forgot: State television ran footage of the Saddam era’s [...]
QandO: The Minimum Wage
Jon Henke once again effortlessly destroys the myth of the minimum wage: I recently objected to a Washington Post claim that about “450,000 Virginians are paid the minimum wage”. They have since added a correction to the story, noting that “about 60,000 Virginia residents are paid the minimum wage.” They did not mention that the source [...]
Commonwealth Conservative: Can we disagree without being disagreeable?
Out of retirement? Probably not… but he had something important to say.
Why Braveheart Fails; Why Watling Street Works
So I read the criticism from Spank That Donkey. I’m sure the folks in Fredericksburg will be highly amused to see I am no longer a “grassroots conservative” but rather some cushy elitist moderate. See Shaun, here is something you may be overlooking, while in your comfy ‘eldership’ at the ODBA… The Blogs, SWAC Girl, [...]
Saddam Hussein Deserves the Maximum Penalty of DEATH
Sometimes I really can’t believe how secularism has blinded some within the Church. Cardinal Martino for instance: Cardinal Renato Martino, Pope Benedict XVI’s top prelate for justice issues and a former Vatican envoy to the U.N., condemned the death sentence in a newspaper interview published Thursday, saying capital punishment goes against the teachings of the Roman [...]
Apologia Pro Waldo Jaquith
There are so many avenues to this it’s tough to get started. Waldo removes a blog from his aggregator for posting the aftermath of an act of terrorism, calling it “political pornography” and booting the blog. Now General Greivious’ Dog isn’t the only photoshop blog out there. In fact, it was predated by Perseverando, the author [...]
Communist Chinese: Partners for Peace
How do we know? Because they’re buinding a powerful navy to invade Taiw… er, protect shipping lanes.
