via Babylon & Beyond | Los Angeles Times:
Last week, a 75-year-old Saudi woman was sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in prison for receiving two unrelated men in her home.
It didn’t matter that they were only delivering bread, or that she is elderly and practically raised one of the men as her her son. […]
Listen to Craig Crawford making excuses for Obama on earmarks. Imus has none of it.
I still say that the definition of torture cannot possibly include anything that people are willing to endure in order to protest it. I posted an example before and pointed out that the guy in the video actually paid $800 to have it done and then laughed about it a few minutes later.
A quick YouTube search reveals that there is apparently a long line of leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, who are perfectly happy to be “tortured” on video to demonstrate how unacceptable waterboarding is supposed to be.
Yeah, letting terrorists out of jail early when you don’t even know the facts of the case is perfectly “reasonable.” Don’t worry. Jimmy Carter and a bunch of left-wing Congressmen who Hillary wants to curry favor with say it’s okay. That’s not improper political influence over the Justice Department.
Thanks, Eric Holder.
UPDATE: Okay, this is too […]
Michael Medved has a really good question for Christopher Hitchens:
Some 24 years ago Hitchens abandoned his British homeland and chose to make his life in the United States. This April, he proudly took the oath as a naturalized American citizen at the Jefferson Memorial. He has written movingly and persuasively of his love for his […]
Since it’s summer and there’s nothing but re-runs on I’ve been channel surfing more than usual. Last night I happened to catch a speech by Muslim dissident Irshad Manji on C-SPAN. What a gutsy broad! Ultimately, I think she’s a leftist with whom I would disagree on many things. Despite her […]
Examples detailed by Catherine Seipp and Peter Schweizer:
A “progressive” San Francisco bookstore with a “proud history of supporting banned books” refuses to carry The Force of Reason by Oriana Fallaci. Fallaci, an Italian journalist, was an “antifascist partisan during World War II.” So, she presumably knows a little something about the real, old-fashioned fascists […]
Or thereabouts.
I guess I’ll have to add this one to my “About” page [HT: Hot Air]:
Al Gore has made his sharpest attack yet on the George Bush presidency, describing the current US administration as “a renegade band of rightwing extremists.”
Come and join our renegade band! We’ll put out an album with cover […]
A double amputee and veteran of the war in Iraq is suing Michael Moore and Miramax for misusing a video clip of him in Farenheit 9/11:
“The work creates a substantially fictionalized and falsified implication as a wounded serviceman who was left behind when Plaintiff was not left behind but supported, financially and emotionally, […]
A little too ironic…
Okay, so Alanis Morissette doesn’t seem to know what irony means. Here’s a better example.
A guy who criticizes Harding University for its loose and long ago association with right wing undesirables also posts a link on his blog to a video.
The point of the video is to deny the plain […]
