Divorce or just two neighbors that don't like each other?
Of course this could be caused by a schizophrenic owner.
Whatever. It is fugly.
...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed... Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father
Liberals Going After Fox Advertisers
MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America's Future and liberal blogs like
DailyKos.com are asking thousands of supporters to monitor who is advertising on the network. Once a database is gathered, an organized phone-calling campaign
will begin, said Jim Gilliam, vice president of media strategy for Brave New Films, a company that has made anti-Fox videos.
The groups have successfully pressured Democratic presidential
candidates not to appear at any debate sponsored by Fox, and are also trying to
get Home Depot Inc. to stop advertising there.
“Can you be a misanthrope and still love or enjoy some individuals?” Ms.
Rodham wrote in an April 1967 letter. “How about a compassionate
misanthrope?”
We have confirmed that Tillman had arranged to meet with a leading anti-war
intellectual, Noam Chomsky, upon his return stateside. One can imagine the panic
in the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the vision of the much trumpeted
poster-boy hero of the War on Terror returning home and speaking out against the evil charade of the War.
That aspect, combined with the nature of the wounds, the destruction of
evidence, the first-level coverup, and the dream promotion of the commander in
charge... well, you see where this is going.
Similarly — as I noted in the post — there are a complexity of issues
involved in what are most frequently trotted out as racial disparities. You
bring up redlining without saying exactly with what about the practice you take
offense. Is it the fact that the subprime loans are granted in the first placde?
Or the fact that they are granted disproportionately to minorities?
The reason why Blacks (or Hispanics) find themselves with lower credit ratings
isn’t, I don’t think, intrinsic to race. We can trace the policies that got us
there, but they are many and varied.
I argued some of these particular instances several years ago with
Aaron Hawkins of Uppity Negro (who has since passed away), including
disproportionate traffic stops for Blacks in certain areas, etc.
...
But overall, it’s been my contention that policies that tend to focus
on fixing “racial disparity” — when the solution is tied solely to race (again,
I have written in favor of affirmative action based on opportunity) often times
do nothing but either exacerbate the disparity, or else have the effect of
creating a new group of victims or perceived victims, which in turn leads to a
stoking of racial animus.
Bloodthirsty Liberal
Can’t argue with this—happy to see His Holiness is reading Mark
Steyn—but what does the head office propose to do about it?
Cindy Sheehan is a good example of how a conspiracy theorist
nut job can hamstring her own party. As long as she was linked to
Democrats, she hurt the Democratic Party. The best news the Democratic
Party has had this past month is the announcement that Sheehan is leaving the
party and will challenge Speaker Pelosi next November. Pelosi, far too
extreme for most Americans, is now safely triangulated as a “moderate” because
Cindy Sheehan is foe instead of friend.
Ron Paul’s supporters are the Republicans’ Cindy Sheehans...
...But do I still support the individual men and women who have given
so much to serve their country?
No. I think they’re a bunch of idiots. I also think they’re morally
retarded...
In a stunning rocket, Rudy Jew-liani basically admitted that he doesn’t know anything at all about foreign policy — or maybe that he knows too much. In an interview with the Jew York Times, Rudy inavertendly revealed that the US has been fighting an entire extra war these last few years that only he knows about.As reported by Jeff Jacoby
As in years past, Republicans were almost routinely associated with NaziNina Totenberg
Germany. Former Vice President Al Gore referred to GOP activists as "brown
shirts." Newsday columnist Hugh Pearson likened the Republican National
Convention to the "Nazi rallies held in Germany during the reign of Adolf
Hitler." Linda Ronstadt said that the Republican victory on Election Day meant
"we've got a new bunch of Hitlers." Chuck Turner, a Boston city councilor,
smeared National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice as "a tool of white leaders,"
like "a Jewish person working for Hitler."
But this isn't the first time the NPR diva has publicly wished death on aClint on his blog
conservative. "I think he ought to be worried about what's going on in the Good
Lord's mind," she said of Senator Jesse Helms in 1995, "because if there is
retributive justice, he'll get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his
grandchildren will."

But do stay in touch after the borders slam shut. When you finally tire
of living on the modern, corporate plantations of Cargill, Tyson, ConAgra and
Smithfield; when you tire of shopping at Wal-Mart and sending your daughters to
sling hash at Denny's in hopes that they'll meet the nicer sort of truck driver;
when you tire of sneaking into Blue America as illegal white-trash wetbacks
eager for casual work dusting our parlors; and when, like men, you finally rise
up in rebellion against this immoral usury -- then, and only then, let us
talk.
We'll gladly get your backs. But first you must grow the brains and
the balls needed to profit from our help.
Dear Excellency and friend,
I thank you very sincerely for your letter and for your offer to
transport me towards freedom. I cannot, alas, leave in such a cowardly fashion.
As for you and in particular for your great country, I never
believed for a moment that you would have this sentiment of abandoning a people
which has chosen liberty. You have refused us your protection and we can do
nothing about it. You leave us and it is my wish that you and your country will
find happiness under the sky.
But mark it well that, if I shall die here on the spot and in my
country that I love, it is too bad because we are all born and must die one day.
I have only committed the mistake of believing in you, the Americans.
Please accept, Excellency, my dear friend, my faithful and friendly
sentiments. Sirik Matak.
Al-Qaeda faces rebellion from the ranks
Fed up with being part of a group that cuts off a person’s face with
piano wire to teach others a lesson, dozens of low-level members of al-Qaeda in
Iraq are daring to become informants for the US military in a hostile Baghdad
neighbourhood.
The ground-breaking move in Doura is part of a wider trend that has
started in other al-Qaeda hotspots across the country and in which Sunni
insurgent groups and tribal sheikhs have stood together with the coalition
against the extremist movement.
