Cagey EU Politics
This week:
But Mr Blair, in a BBC interview yesterday, said: “I can’t think that it would be right to take military action against Iran . . . What is important is to pursue the political, diplomatic channel. I think it is the only way that we are going to get a sensible solution to the […]

Hey, it’s been awhile, huh?
Yes, yes it has.
I have no good excuse, really. All I can tell you is, following politics in the United States right now is horribly depressing, upsetting and, often, rage-provoking. I get so disgusted reading about it, that I honestly have a hard time putting fingers on the keyboard and writing about it.
I’m not sure […]

The EU: Failing upwards?
I caught a story on MSNBC this morning that made me cross my eyes a bit. Now, I’ve been reading for over a year about Europe’s encroaching economic problems, relating to both its socialist systems and demographic challenges. So, I was a bit incredulous when the article began with this:
Jan. 22, 2007 issue - By […]

Common sense in the old media? Surely you jest!
You’d think so, but no, that’s not the case… this time. I was surprised to find an honest, candid and responsible piece on Social Security at MSNBC.com. Worth a read.

Pat Robertson is a pathological liar.
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson predicted Tuesday a horrific terrorist act on the United States that will result in “mass killing” late in 2007. “I’m not necessarily saying it’s going to be nuclear,” he said during his news-and-talk television show “The 700 Club” on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “The Lord didn’t say nuclear. But I […]

Courageous freedom-fighters on the move in Thailand!
Courtesy of Strategypage:
Most of the mountainous back country villages have been terrorized, and “cleansed” of infidels (non-Moslems) to such an extent, that the terrorists can move about openly in daytime. The terrorists are also getting nastier, as in today’s attack, where two teachers were shot, then burned to death on a road.

Rushdie agrees with me!
There’s a transcript of a lecture given by the infamous Salman Rushdie going around the interweb today. It’s long but interesting, dealing with the western world and how it’s (not) coping with Islamic Facism. A snip from the end of the lecture:
But the point about the freeze-frame is to suggest that we don’t know the […]

Democrats: The New Republicans?
From MSNBC.com:
Without more money, Democrats will face “a real struggle for which wins out: the political promises or the fiscal-responsibility promise,” said Robert L. Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan group that opposes deficits. “If the public perceives that they’re making real choices and cutting back on some things they want to […]

Well, then.
I’d continually wondered why, given the obvious hostility of the Iranian government to anything remotely American, we’ve been failing to call Iran out on the world stage for its murderous activity all over the Middle East. Virtually every major anti-US operation of the last decade had Iranian fingerprints on it, whether in the forum of […]

Hey, Pat? Jesus has 10 days left.
A crunchy booger (now a shrivelled, dessicated thing) stuck to the inside of my trashcan provided me with a friendly reminder of a post I made several months ago. Quoth the Patster:
“If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms,” Robertson said May 8. On Wednesday, he […]
