It's been a crazy Monday over this way, so I really have no idea what's going on. I highly recommend reading this report of what a carefully-coordinated media campaign looks like. Otherwise, for the local history buffs, the Fairfax Library has started putting together a comprehensive database [...]
Stacy says it's better than Cats, but I find that hard to imagine....
Anyway, the premise behind the movie, which seems to be "Former evil conservative talk show radio host takes on world of muddle-headed mush-brained zombies," is one that I must admit I've never seen put in movie form [...]
I think this shot, taken by White House photographer Pete Souza, illustrates very succinctly the Obama Administration's relationship to Old Europe. And what better way to point that out than by providing detail views of two very particular areas of the frame.
On the left, we see someone who' [...]
Long-time reader Kevin (of Toast fame) took one look at our previous Obama Nobel Speech word picture and spotted something horribly wrong with it. And I'll be honest, it totally escaped my mind.

A religious party in Pakistan that rages against terrorism? I'd say that's a really good start:
Supporters of Pakistani religious party Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan hold a rally to condemn ongoing violence by militants in Pakistan, Friday, Dec. 11, 2009 in Karachi, Pakistan. They condemned suicide attacks and praised Pakistan army fighting [...]

update: Firsthand report of this protest here (via Google Autotranslate):
El Nuevo Herald reported yesterday that "three buses carried about 400 people, who began to harass the protesters with pro-government slogans, halons hair and bruises." Revolutionaries are called "spontaneous" as communist propaganda, better known as shock troops. As proof [...]

Observation #1: It's truly fitting to note that a light in the sky that was taken as some (idiots) to be a sign of Obama's greatness turns out to be a Russian missile failure.

Apparently, I'm getting all my news from Ace today. Which is fine, considering how funny he tends to be. (A good laugh in the morning almost beats having my third cup of coffee. Almost.)

Like Ace says: "Sure, why not?"
Apparently, the British Met Office, the nation's chief meteorology institute, has "strongly encouraged" the scientists it has on staff to sign a petition "defending" Global Warming.
And by "strongly encouraged," I mean "threatened to fire."
After all, nothing says "Science!" more than being given the choice' [...]
Isn't Al Gore an American? Well, ok. Let me re-phrase that. Wasn't Al Gore born in America?

I was out and about last night, and ended up catching a breathless NBC News report about how the world's glaciers are getting ready to disappear within the next 30 years, and that we should all panic (by instituting draconian socialist global policies, but of course).
