The new fascism

Posted on April 29, 2008 | Comments Off on The new fascism

More, inevitably, on Barry, the Chicago hate-America crowd (Ayers & Wright) he surrounds himself with, and his nutty wife who talks about how he will save our souls, whether we like it or not:

"The primary question in my head about Obama is beginning to move beyond ‘Is this guy a lightwight?’ to a simpler one: ‘Is this guy simply a walking lie, in a deep way and on multiple levels?’"

Either that or, like his terrorist pal and racist thug minister of twenty years, he’s truly creepy. At best, I think, we can all Hope to Change the subject. Go ahead Dems, save your party from collapse. Pick the lying Hillary.

MORE:  Occurs to me, reading these comments and links at Instapundit, that what Rev. God damn America was up to yesterday at the National Press Club might have been getting even with Barry for falling asleep in church once too often. But, hey, the NAACP loved it. They sure have changed.

Barry’s “spiritual advisor”

Posted on April 28, 2008 | Comments Off on Barry’s “spiritual advisor”

Pity more people didn’t watch the wheels come off of Barry’s campaign as the racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright spewed at the Nation Press Club this morning. It’s particularly educational to hear of the standing Os and applause that he got from the "journalists." Birds of a feather, etc.

APPLES AND ROCKS: Don’t miss the rev’s racist brain theory, i.e. the black apple and the white rock. As VDH says, these are Orwellian times.

Computer sewing machines

Posted on April 28, 2008 | Comments Off on Computer sewing machines

The only thing I could legitmately use a sewing machine for would be sewing some of the missing buttons back on my shirts. But there’s hardly enough missing to justify buying one, much less paying $300 for a computer-driven one.

But it’s tempting. Embroidery, for instance. The computer ones store digital templates, apparently. You can even design your own embroidery on your PC and run it through. I got on this idea from an ad at Miriam’s Ideas. Then found this cool site that shows how a sewing machine works. I never used one. But I watched my maternal grandmother run a mechanical, push-pedal model years ago. I can still hear it and smell the lubricating oil.

Barry’s three amigos

Posted on April 28, 2008 | Comments Off on Barry’s three amigos

"Tony Rezko, the indicted fixer; Jeremiah Wright, the racist reverend; William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist." —Charles Krauthammer.

Now Hilarity’s supporters are going after Barry’s friendships, especially with the unrepentant terrorist. 

I think I made a serious mistake in dubbing Hillary "Hilarity," though I still think she is pretty amusing with her "sniper" lies and her pantsuits and her phony tears. But Barry is just plain hilarious. And the more he and the Obamabots try to get the rest of us to look the other way, not to search out the pea under the moving cups (three peas, actually, one for each amigo under each cup), the funnier he is.

Stockpile food

Well, cereal and canned fish, anyway. Oh, my. The advice is not from some sensationalist rag. It’s from a column in the Wall Street Journal.

Newspaper sites beating TV sites

Posted on April 27, 2008 | Comments Off on Newspaper sites beating TV sites

Of course, as I hear from my old colleagues from time to time, newspaper Web sites still have a long way to go to match the profits of the old paper paper. But that they are beating out TV Web sites for readers shouldn’t surprise me as much as it did at first glance. For all the videos now coming online to compete with still photos, the Web really is about reading. And too many TV reporters can’t write. Never could. Never needed to worry about it. Until now.

Softballs for Wright

Posted on April 26, 2008 | Comments Off on Softballs for Wright

In general, I don’t care for Bill Moyers’ politics and I resent the fact that my tax money pays part of his salary at National Progressive Radio/Television. So I wasn’t surprised to see all the stuff he could have asked but didn’t in his interview with Jeremiah Wright. So the interview, while worth a glance at the transcript where you can skip around without having to listen to the whole thing, is half-baked from the get-go. I presume Moyers didn’t ask Wright about his AIDS conspiracy theory and his slurs on the founders Washington and Jefferson because even Moyers knows they are indefensible. But, as Power Line puts it, God damn America still means God damn America. And that’s enough politics for a while. I’m sick of it, too.

UPDATE: Here’s the full, unedited and extremely damning context that Moyers is helping Wright hide. If you take time (if you care) to examine the context, you’ll be amazed at how even the Associated Press is following Moyers’ lead in obfuscating Wright. Or just take AP’s version and go back to sleep.
