Sweet Irony - Rosie edition

Posted by Moonage on 30 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Humor, Idiot of the day

Rosie O’Donnell, not too shortly before being canned from The View, informed all the world that fire can’t melt steel. Therefore, Bush had to have torn down the WTC’s by hand ( or something like that ).
Today in Oakland, fire melted steel:

Since no one was hurt too bad, I do see some humor in [...]

George Tenet - At the Center of the Storm

Posted by Moonage on 30 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: National Politics, National Security

I think everyone that comes here knows who George Tenet is.? I sort of doubt those who come here a lot have a clear idea of what I think of Tenet.? My feelings on George Tenet, in case you don’t want to look at the other posts, is quite simple.? Jamie Gorelick [...]

Sony keeps digging lower and lower

Posted by Moonage on 29 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, Shock and Awe

Not quite a year ago I did a piece on what I thought was one of the most crass advertising campaigns I had ever seen. Well, they’ve done it again.
Sony used a freshly slaughtered goat to promote the company’s new violent video game for its PlayStation 2 console, the Daily Mail reported.
The dead animal’s still-warm [...]

Animals are people too?

Posted by Moonage on 28 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Media, Political Correctness

Usually I’m pretty harsh on PETA. They do some pretty goofball things that in my opinion more often than not harm their cause more than helping it by putting fear in people that if they are concerned about helping animals too they might be perceived as being as whacky as PETA. However, today, [...]

Harry Reid only believes the story he wants to believe ( and puts words in people’s mouths, and lies )

Posted by Moonage on 27 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: National Politics, National Security

Got this from Milblogs:
BASH: The phrase “the war is lost” really touched a nerve.
Do you stand by that — that — that comment?
REID: General Petraeus has said that only 20 percent of the war can be won militarily. He’s the man on the ground there now. He said 80 percent of the war has [...]

Americans siding with Dems against Bush

Posted by Moonage on 26 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Politics, Polls, The Media

Apparently “the Dems” picked up the endorsement of MSNBC, who claims unequivocally that Americans are siding with Dems. The headline leaves no room for error. It’s not “most”, “a majority”, or “some”. It’s all. Every single American. Mexican, Canadien, Brazillian, it’s all of them. That’s a pretty powerful block of [...]

Rosie quits

Posted by Moonage on 26 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Conspiracy Theories, Media

Rosie O’Donnell is leaving The View. Good. I never watch the show as I have a life. However, she panders to conspiracy theories and the show is quite popular. The mix just stirs up stuff that doesn’t exist and doesn’t contribute one single thing to our culture. I get really [...]

How the border patrol is expected to operate

Posted by Moonage on 25 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Border Control, National Security

Given the recent prosecution and sentencing of border patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Campean for doing their job correctly, this is how the border patrol is now forced to “secure” our borders:

Virginia Tech and Homeland Security

Posted by Moonage on 17 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: National Security

After 2001, anti-terrorism spending in the US jumped from $20 billion to over $60 billion.
Yesterday, from what I have seen so far:

The President of Virginia Tech had to make a decision on when or even IF he should send out notices to students that a shooting had occurred.  By the time he made that decision, [...]

Would Gun Control have prevented the Blacksburg massacre?

Posted by Moonage on 17 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: National Politics

No sooner than the news hit the tv’s of what was going on, people were immediately using this tragedy as yet another piece of evidence that we need to ban all guns.
That is so backward it’s amazing to me.
How many guns are there legally in the United States? How many are in Russia? [...]
