Tuskegee: Don't Believe Everything You Hear

2008-05-04T11:17:00.003-04:00

Interesting insights from Jonah Goldberg. Reason # 124 why it's important to either a) know your history or b) do your own research: turns out that no one was actually infected with syphilis, but they were lied to about the 'treatment' they were receiving. Heinous? Absolutely. But not the attempted genocide as claimed by certain left wing Black minsters, paranoid liberals, and assorted race baiters. Goldberg makes a valid: essentially, why, if blacks are so distrusting of the the government why do they "remain the most reliable voters for the party of ever-expanding government power is something of a mystery. Indeed, it’s worth noting that the Tuskegee study, launched during the pre-dawn of the New Deal-era, was symptomatic of arrogant liberal government." Read Goldberg's full article here.

This is the full length version of the ATT/Meat Loaf commercial. The mom is 80s pop princess Tiffany and the son (who is NOT Meat Loaf's real son) is played by Adam Cagley.

Adam is a spunky young man. Check out this link to see how he responded to some snarky blogger's comment about him.

Why is Sean Hannity so Angry?

2008-04-22T19:16:00.002-04:00

Last week, Bob Barr, a former Republican congressman from Georgia was on the Hannity and Colmes show on the Fox News Network. Congressman Barr has launched a Presidential Exploratory Committee for the 2008 elections, and Hannity and Colmes wanted to take the opportunity to criticize Barr about his decision. What had Sean Hannity’s tighty whiteys in a knot was that Congressman Barr plans to run as a Libertarian.

Cheerleaders Gone Wild

2008-04-15T20:32:00.002-04:00

By now you’ve seen or heard about the six teen-aged cheerleader girls (read that as: felonious loons with no sense of good or evil) and their two trollish male look outs who beat an unsuspecting teen with a savagery usually reserved for clashes between the Chinese militia and Tibetan monks.

The reason? The victim wrote something that hurt the fragile egos of the cheerleaders on her MySpace page. Let’s hope that the state of Florida tries these criminals as adults.

It's my money and I want it now

In a magnanimous move by the government in an attempt to stimulate the economy, millions of taxpayers can expect to receive a rebate check of $300 to $1500 dollars next month. The cynic in me says 'This must be an election year'. The realist in me says, to paraphrase the commercial, 'It's my money and I want it now!". Turns out the cynic and the realist are both correct.

It’s A Judgment Thing

2008-04-01T20:47:00.001-04:00

Last week, Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama showed us why he is just another smarmy politician and not the Great Unifier as some have named him.

In a disingenuous speech, marginally designed to distance Obama from his whackadoo minster Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the Senator managed to turn the issue from the anti-American rantings of Reverend Wright to a thinly veiled condemnation of those calling out the Reverend’s words.

I Spy -

2007-10-26T17:42:00.000-04:00

One of America's best weapons against Al Qaeda may be more Nancy Drew than Jack Bauer. In an engaging story that reads like Spying for Beginners, Jack Hitt tells the story of Shannen Rossmiller, a small-town judge and big-time amateur terrorist hunter. Using methods available to most Internet users, Rossmiller tells how she built the case against wannabe domestic terrorists Ryan Anderson and Michael Reynolds. With no formal espionage training, Rossmiller poses as a jihadist in online chat rooms and, with a little patience and a lot of gumption, has accumulated files on 640 potential terrorists. Compelling reading about an unexpected product of the war on terror.
