Heresy: fair and balanced

This day in history: Democrat attacks black children with fire hose, dogs, and clubs, then jails them!

Selflessly orbiting Earth since 1957

Comrades. It’s Laika the Space Dog, Hero of the Soviet Union (which, unfortunately, collapsed before the selfless mutt could return) with an official May Day signal to Obamunists, etc. Roll the tanks!

No honorary for Wright

The official reason is timid, about what you’d expect from a university in these PC "diversity" days, but it’s the right thing for Northwestern (the onetime "Fighting Methodists") to do, denying an honorary theology degree to Barry’s apparently now former spiritual mentor after his rude, conspiricist and racist circus at the National Press Club this week.

The $100,000 man

The Gorebot’s fixed fee these days is a hundred thou for one his "environmental multimedia" lectures, presumably on the Global Warming Scam. The Smoking Gun has a copy of his standard contract, complete with the stipulations that there be no questions, no news media allowed in the hall, and he gets to approve all photographs before they are released. He must be gaining weight again.

There is no ‘black church’

Best summary of that idea I’ve seen is from Trey, a commenter at Althouse, though I can’t seem to get the permalink to work. So scroll down and find it:

"There are black Presbyterians where the women wear hats to church and the only things on fire are the candles, there are black snake handlers, black Unitarians, black Pentecostals, black liberation theology types that are more interested in government than Jesus and so on and so on."

Barry’s whacked-out pastor obviously falls into the last category, but, despite his claim to the contrary, it ain’t representative. 

American packaging, Part II

Even a box cutter couldn’t penetrate the blister pack Miriam at Miriam’s Ideas recently encountered on a product from Amazon. She finally got the staff at her local hardware store to get the plastic packaging off the product. Mr. B. and I have struggled with this as well. I had heard the problem was being solved by the manufacturers. Apparently not.

I know. I know. It’s all about Barry and his poor judgement these days: his self-described spiritual mentor, his terrorist neighbor, and his indicted financial advisor. But I couldn’t resist borrowing this one. Lest we forget Hilarity’s baldfaced lies about courageously enduring sniper fire in Bosnia. The Dems have really been about self-destruction in recent presidential races. But 2008 may be their best (worst) ever.
