Yesterday, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf resigned. What do you think? Good for America, bad for America? Good for Democracy? Or is it only good for the extremists? Your thoughts are appreciated. Technorati Tags: islamists, musharraf, pakistan, radical islam Bookmark It Hide Sites

The alliance of mice…

Gordon C Chang has harsh words for NATO. Harsher words for President Bush. That’s it? Russia invades a country, and the Atlantic Alliance sets up a commission? Dmitry Rogozin, the Kremlin’s NATO envoy, put it best. He labeled the emergency summit a “mountain that gave birth to a mouse.” But we shouldn’t blame the Alliance for its [...]

Olympics Watchers Assisting Chinese Torture

-By Warner Todd Huston Do you like your silly little Olympic games? Well, I hope you are really, really enjoying it because your support, your watching of this garbage makes you a direct, unequivocal party to the torture, imprisonment and oppression of the Chinese people. So, you, Mr. Olympics watcher, get a gold medal in torture. Congratulations. [...]

McCain says Obama legislated failure

I say good for John McCain to criticize what can only be described as political opportunism by Sen. Obama. At the Saddleback forum, Obama said his decision to oppose the War in Iraq was his most difficult–even though he wasn’t even in the Senate at the time, and by the time he was running [...]

“A festival of grovelling”

This is a pretty apt description of the lefties whose apologism to Islamist radicals has gotten so out of hand, that publishers, theatres, and art venues have all started pre-censoring just about anything critical of Islam from Mozart to the new book “The Jewel of Medina” by Sherry Jones. (note: the link to Amazon above results [...]

“Self-censorship and cultural cowardice sweeping Western art circles”

By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com All for fear of offending Muslims, we have “a quiet wave of self-censorship and cultural cowardice sweeping Western art circles:” A novel (The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones) is pulled before it even got published; the “BBC has dropped a big-budget docu-drama, The London Bombers;” “the BBC hospital soap Casualty [...]

Russian Forces to Leave Georgia…

...but will they? And now the New York Times reports that the Russian military had been moving launchers for short-range ballistic missiles into South Ossetia, a step that appeared intended to tighten its hold on the breakaway territory.

The Randy Scheunemann Non-Controversy

Randy Scheunemann, who is John McCain’s top foreign policy advisor, has been in the spotlight this last week due to his past lobbying ties to the Georgian government. Critics have alleged that Scheunemann’s previous dealings have contributed to war in the Caucasus. This morning’s Los Angeles Times includes a feature story on Scheunemann, with the bottom [...]

Sarah Palin for Vice President
I’m endorsing Sarah Palin for McCain’s VP choice. 90% approval rating in her home state of Alaska makes her the most popular Governor in the United States. She’s young, but not too young, and smart. And pretty solidly conservative. E.D. (2)

Non-news from Kos
The Daily Kos is publishing more not-newsworthy crap about military donors to the candidates campaigns.

If you add up all the pro-withdrawal candidates, you see the disparity getting huger: Obama + Clinton + Paul + DNC: $751,870 from 1,825 contributors The rest of the Republicans: $616,808 from 1,166 contributors

A few things about this that are silly: First, that’s a total of 2991 contributions. Not a very good sample. Second, if you do the numbers, GOP donors are generally donating more per contribution than Democratic donors are, by about $118 per contribution. Also funny:

Note that this only includes donations over $200. Smaller donations don’t need to be itemized by the campaigns. And given that enlisted personnel make less than $2,000 per month before taxes, we can assume that they’re not sending the bigger dollar contributions. As such, for Obama to score such a huge advantage among officers, which have always skewed more Republican is pretty startling.

So what Kos is assuming is that officers are more conservative than enlisted men. Why he assumes this is beyond me. Oh, and enlisted men can make a great deal more than $2000 a month as they move up the ranks…. In any case, it’s non-news. It’s just Kos being an idiot. (1)
