Are burqas REALLY that bad?

Hat tip to the always-hilarious V the K at the Caption This! blog. Keep it up, V!

I am wondering if this… thing was once somebody’s sweet little girl, running to her Daddy clutching fresh-picked field daisies in her outstretched hand.

Somehow, I think not.

1. Man, Tom Cruise has really lost it.

2. How can you tell this was taken in San Francisco? Because the crowd’s attention is directed at something even more bizarre behind her.*

3. The following year, the neighborhood association re-evaluated their Christmas Parade plans and went with a more traditional Santa.

4. “Oh, I don’t know. I just woke up this morning and decided to set back the Gay Rights Movement 20 years.”

5. Heather has two mommies. And now, we know why Heather tied up Billy in the janitor’s closet and gave him a stern yet sensual whipping.

6. “Check it, peeps. I got my J-Lo/Uncle Fester vibe workin’ for me.”

7. “Now, for all the feminists in the audience, the dom who puts the ‘suffer’ into ‘suffragette,’… Ilsa!”

8. “Rolling, rolling, rolling, keep those lesbos rolling….”

9. “Deutschland! Deustchland! Uber Alles!”

10. “Gosh, Hillary. You really woke up horny today. What were you dreaming about?”

Scuba Boy has stones, plus hilarious news flash!

Neal Boortz wonders the same thing about Scuba Boy that I do:

Leftist hero Ted Kennedy was pontificating yesterday about what Bush needed to say during his speech on Iraq last night. During his rant Kennedy comesout with this gem:

“This is a difficult and challenging profession. No one should come to it lightly. As it should be. People have to be held accountable, professionally, and the public is looking at it in terms of private lives, as well. Everything is fair game.”

Everything is fair game? Fine, Senator. If people need to be held accountable in their private lives, when are you going to explain to us why wandering up and down that dark road on that July night in 1969 worrying about your political future. What was more important, your political life, or saving the life of that girl trapped in the car you managed to drive into the drink? You do know that Mary Jo was alive in that car for as much as two hours, don’t you? Two hours to die while you’re working on your cover-up. Accountable? Do you care to respond to the Mass. State Police Detective Lieutenant who said that you “killed that girl the same as if (you) put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger”? You belong in jail. Not in the U.S. Senate.

Libs who cheer and support Ted Kennedy should be ashamed of themselves.

In more light-hearted and typically hilarious fashion, the Goomba News Network had this “news” story about America’s favorite drunk uncle:

WASHINGTON (Goomba News Network) — Last night’s Democratic Party response to President George W. Bush’s speech on Iraq was at times uneven and incoherent. Senator Edward Kennedy (Traitor-MA) attempted to inspire the nation with a short presentation detailing the Democratic Party’s plan for Iraq. Here are excerpts from Kennedy’s speech:

“The Democratic Party is like a big car…an SUV…or a whataya call it?… a Hummer. We’ve got lots of room in the back seat for Liberty and Freedom.”

“There is room for all Iraqis in the big Democratic Party car. Some of them can sit
in the front and some of them can squeeze into the back seat with Liberty and Freedom and… Michael Moore”

Kennedy then fell into a fit of giggles.

“I’m going to drive that big Democratic Party car with Iraqis and Freedom and Justice and Liberty and Michael Moore and Barbara Boxer and Barama Osama and…America…and I’ll drive over President Clinton’s Bridge to the 21st Century.”

Suddenly there were loud whispers from off camera and Kennedy seemed annoyed

“What? What? Don’t worry, I can drive.”

At this point, the screen went black for 11 seconds. Senator Joseph Biden (plagiarist-DE) then appeared to complete the national address.

This was the second embarrassment for the Democratic Party in one week. Last Sunday, Senator Robert Byrd (KKK-WV) compared Iraq to a big unruly German shepherd his family owned during his early years. He stated that his Uncle Clem had taken the dog to some people he knew who had a big farm in the country where the dog could run and be happy. Byrd then stated that he had the same plan for the people of Iraq.

The GNN also picked up on Teddy’s inspiration quotation, fashioned in the mold of his brother John: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Just figure out how badly you can hurt your country so that it won’t be Conservative any more.”

MSM doom-and-gloom stories in 1945, too

They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now.

New York Times articles:

Germans Reveal Hate of Americans. Oct. 31, 1945.
The German attitude toward the American occupation forces has swung from apathy and surface friendliness to active dislike. According to a military government official, this is finding expression in the organization of numerous local anti-American organizations throughout the zone and in a rapid increase in the number of attacks on American soldiers. There were more such attacks in the first week of October than in the preceding five months of the occupation, this source declared. This official views the situation as so serious that he and others are protesting the withdrawal of 1,600 experienced military-government officers from the German governments on township, county and regional levels between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15.”

Loss of Victory in Germany Through U.S. Policy Feared. November 18th, 1945.
Grave concern was expressed today by informed officials that the United States might soon lose the fruits of victory in Germany through the failure to prepare adequately for carrying out its long-term commitments under the Potsdam Declaration.

Germans Declare Americans Hated, December 3rd, 1945.
An exhaustive compilation of opinions of Germans in all walks of life on their reaction to the United States occupation of their country was released this afternoon from the confidential status under which it was submitted to officials of the United States Forces in the European Theatre recently. Bitter resentment and deep disappointment was voiced over the Americans’ first six months of occupation, though there was some praise for the improvements in transportation, health conditions, book publishing and entertainment.

German Election Set In Towns of U.S. Zone, December 19, 1945.
United States Seventh Army headquarters announced today that plans had been completed for initial German elections in January at Gemuende. A statement said that a vast majority of Germans remained passive in attitude toward politics and displayed no disposition to take over civic responsibilities.

Starting to sound a little familiar, huh folks? History appears to have vindicated us and proved the MSM (specifically, but not exclusively, the NYT) completely wrong. Then again, the MSM is used to being proved wrong all the time, yet they go on doing the same thing. That’s the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results.

Reuters: Replace "hard-liner" with "conservative"

The Godfather noticed the change at Reuters, the news organization whose policy forbids using the term “terrorist” (since, according to them, “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”):

Surfing around yesterday my RSS feeds, and I have some Yahoo! News feeds on my RSS, and I got one from Reuters. One of the things that occasionally you will find on an RSS feed is a wire story rewrite. You will see the original with red lines through what has been revised, red lines through what was eliminated. Let me read to you the first version of this story about the Iran presidential election from Reuters dated yesterday. “Hard-line President-Elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad” I have trouble reading between the lines here yesterday, “sparked western fears about Iran’s nuclear program and helped push oil prices over $60 on Monday but EU analysts warned against any hasty judgments.” They replaced “hard-line President-Elect Mahmoud” with “ultraconservative President-Elect Mahmoud.” We’ve encountered this countless times before, folks, where the mainstream press takes the tyrants, the dictators, the thugs of the world and calls them “conservatives” and “ultraconservatives” and that’s what Reuters did.

They started out “hard-line” president-elect and changed it to “ultraconservative” president-elect “faced an uphill task on Monday to assuage concerns.” That was replaced with “sparked Western fears about Iran’s nuclear program,” and there are other things, “in the West that he will adopt a tougher policy on Iran’s nuclear program and roll back freedoms at home.” All that was stricken out, replaced with “ultraconservative president-elect Mahmoud sparked western fears about Iran’s nuclear program and helped push oil prices over $60 on Monday.” That’s the final version;

See? Reuters finds the term “terrorist” to be unpalatable, but has no qualms equating the terms “tyrant” and “conservative.” I’d expect that comparison from the moonbat wing of liberals and Democrats, but a supposedly “objective” news source?

Nope…no liberal media bias.

Bush’s speech and subsequent (and predictable) reactions

AP Headline: “Bush Criticized for Linking 9/11 and Iraq”. Bush critizied? No way! Who’da thunk it? Why, that never happens in the MSM, does it? Anyway, right off the bat, you get an idea of just who is criticizing our commander-in-chief during war:

Democrats in particular criticizing Bush for again raising the Sept. 11 attacks as a justification for the protracted fight in Iraq after the president proclaimed anew that he plans to keep U.S. forces there as long as necessary to ensure peace.

(snip…)

Some Democrats quickly accused him of reviving a questionable link to the war in Iraq — a rationale that Bush originally used to help justify launching strikes against Baghdad in the spring of 2003.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi accused Bush of demonstrating a willingness “exploit the sacred ground of 9/11, knowing that there is no connection between 9/11 and the war in Iraq.”

Nancy, you ignorant slut, of course there is a connection between 9/11 and Iraq…just not the one you’re implying. No, there’s no real proof that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. The real connection is that 9/11 was an act of Islamofascist terrorism and Iraq had an Islamofascist dictator who we (and the entire world intelligence community) saw as supporting terrorism (indisputable facts: he financed suicide bombings against Israel, which not coincidentally have gone down since his cash flow stopped; and he tried to assassinate the former President Bush) and developing WMD (some of which we have found, despite press reports to the contrary…another topic for another day). Iraq is simply part and parcel of the worldwide efforts to combat global terrorism.

Establishing a democracy-style government in Iraq will eventually have a domino effect in the rest of the Middle East, which will make it considerably more difficult for terrorism to breed and thrive.

So yes…Iraq is connected to 9/11 by virtue of the overall war on terrorism. Continuing…

Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), interviewed on CBS’s “The Early Show,” maintained that “one of the very big mistakes early on was that he didn’t have enough troops on the ground, particularly after the initial victory, and that’s still the case.”

Sen. John Kerry, Bush’s Democratic opponent in last year’s presidential election, told NBC’s “Today” show that the borders of Iraq “are porous” and said “we don’t have enough troops” there.

Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record) Jr., appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” disputed Bush’s notion that sufficient troops are in place.

Somebody did tell the press that Kerry lost, right?

Whew! It’s a damned good thing that we have Senators sitting in cushy D.C. offices that know more about our troops’ needs than their own generals! I mean, if we had to rely on the military to manage the war instead of Senators, can you imagine the fallout?!? The president says that his generals and Secretary of Defense tell him that there are sufficient forces, but what do those nimrods know compared to McCain, Kerry, and Biden? After all, as Kerry was fond of telling us last year, he did serve in Vietnam and Bush didn’t! Yeah, that line of thinking went over with the electorate like a fart in church.

Finally:

“The president’s numerous references to September 11 did not provide a way forward in Iraq,” Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said. “They only served to remind the American people that our most dangerous enemy, namely Osama bin Laden, is still on the loose and al-Qaida remains capable of doing this nation great harm nearly four years after it attacked America.”

We don’t have OBL, so the war is a failure, Harry? Wow…wait’ll they hear THAT back in Nevada! Also, al Qaeda remains so capable of doing this nation great harm that they’ve attacked us again since 2001 over here! No, wait…they have not attacked us here since then! My bad…

Liberals are unwittingly aiding and abetting al Qaeda by giving them press clippings that leave the impression that America is losing its will. A local soldier was on the news here saying that one terrorist they caught over there said in broken English that “You will leave, so we hold out!” Read into that what you will. I read that as Democrat politicians’ efforts to score political points against a president they despise is paying off for our enemies. My impressions, based on simply watching the implosion of today’s Democratic party, is that Democrats are willing to sustain losses in this war in order to regain power, and then they’ll worry about what to do in the war on terrorism. Sick, my friends…just sick.
