Jihad trains in New York City

Posted by Moonage on 23 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Shock and Awe, terrorism

Congressman Peter King is kinda upset.
A month-long advertising campaign, to be run in New York on the subway cars, aimed at promoting Islam has generated controversy with an angry lawmaker sending a letter to the authorities asking them to stop the drive….
“I have no problem with the ad itself, but I have a very, very [...]

Suspend PETA and keep racing

Posted by Moonage on 06 May 2008 | Tagged as: Opinions, Shock and Awe

In their usual callous and unsympathetic way, PETA has had to chime in on the death of Eight Belles.  Now, a couple of their arguments make sense, like using softer tracks.  But, in their usual way, they completely defy reality in order to make their argument:

In blaming the track surface - nothing is softer than [...]

Fixing Social Security

Posted by Moonage on 22 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Opinions, Shock and Awe, Social Sciences, Supporting the Death Penalty

I have the Social Security issue all figured out ( again ).  It doesn’t require cutting back benefits or raising taxes.  It’s simple too.
Just expand the death penalty to include crimes that result in abuse or death.  That category would include molesters, drug dealers, and “insane” murderers.  Make it a lot simpler to enforce if [...]

PETA and the cannibal

Posted by Moonage on 12 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Shock and Awe, Supporting the Death Penalty

PETA sent this letter to the sheriff housing Christopher McCuin.  Chris is the guy who ate his girlfriend last week.  Literally.  Read it, it’s hilarious!

Dear Captain Pinkerton:

On behalf of PETA and our more than 1.8 million members and supporters, I am writing to [...]

Democrats pass the troop reduction act

Posted by Moonage on 15 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Legislative Process, Shock and Awe

House Democrats pushed through a $50 billion Iraq war bill that would require President George W. Bush to start bringing troops home in coming weeks with a goal of ending combat by December 2008.
Now, this is where it gets really silly.  Bush was already bringing troops home.  Confused yet?  Let Nancy clarify it for you:
“The [...]

The Proper Way to beat your wife

This clip on Memritv to me perfectly illustrates the difference in cultures of “the evil Satan” of the West and “the religion of Peace” of the Middle East:
Saudi Cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi Explains Wife Beating in Islam to Young Muslims in a Ramadhan Show
That’s just nuts by my standard.  If I could ask Al-Arifi one question, [...]

Rafsanjani, Hitler, and Ann Coulter?

Posted by Moonage on 12 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, International Issues, Shock and Awe, The Media

You know you’re in a bad way when Google’s context sensitive advertising does this:

Now, ya just gotta wonder why “Ann Coulter” would even come up in an article that never mentions her.  More politics by Google?  Or, is Ann’s name now so synonomous with “Jew” that Google’s engine just can’t help it?
Honestly, I would not place [...]

Joy Behar has the Klan on her mind

Posted by Moonage on 20 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Shock and Awe, The Media

Every time I think The View has sunk to the lowest it can possibly get, a new character drags it even lower.  We had the Rosie blaming Bush for 9/11 crap, citing metal doesn’t melt due to fire.  Then we had Whoopi.  Now we’ve got Joy Behar comparing the Republican Presidential candidates to members of [...]

Andrew Meyer is repressed

Posted by Moonage on 19 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: Conspiracy Theories, Humor, Media, Shock and Awe, The Media

The University of Florida Police Department is taking some heat for the less than subtle means they used to shut up Andrew Meyer during a John Kerry presentation.  Wearing the over-abused cliche drooping khaki pants and a t-shirt, this guy was obviously no threat to anyone.  The cops didn’t get his prank or thought it [...]

Dennis Kucinich proves he’s nuts

Posted by Moonage on 11 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Polls, Shock and Awe

Congress passed a resolution establishing September 11th as a day of rememberance.  It honors those who died on September 11, 2007.  It also honors those that eventually served in Afghanistan and Iraq.  334 Congressmen voted for it.  1 voted against.  That one, was Dennis Kucinich, candidate for president.  His reasoning is this:
“It is important that [...]
