Manolo: Hair of the Presidents
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006You know how I’m starting my mini-Hall of the Presidents Disney Style? Well, The Manolo rates the hair of the past presidents.
I won’t tell you who wins best hair, but here’s a hint: he’s alluded to in my Hall of the Presidents post.
Hamid Karzai Speaking Truth to Pea Brains
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006I heard this clip, where Karzai eloquently explains what is at stake in the War in Terror. He reminds everyone of 9/11. That’s right, the President of Afghanistan reminds the New York press what is at stake.
Yes, the world is ass-backwards. Make that the Leftists are ass-backwards.

Atlas Shrugged: Breaks the Taboo
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006There is more to the history that Pope Benedict alluded to in the college speech that so inflamed the Islamofascists. The end result of the dialogue between the Muslim cleric and Manuel II was that the cleric “effectively converts.”
Read more here. It is fascinating.
President Bush Declassifies NYT Leak Documents
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006When the full document comes out and makes the Democrats look like dumb-asses, a Rovian plot will be blamed, no doubt.

Andrew at Ace; Welcome to Modern Britain Infidel

Should anyone be nervous? Anyone?
Scott Adam’s Stupid Bear Analogy
Monday, September 25th, 2006In this case, he should stick to comics. Go over and read the whole post for yourself. Nutshell:
If you poke a bear and it eats you. Is it your fault or the bears?
Let’s see…. are we assuming Muslims are animals and therefore shouldn’t “poke” them say, by posting pictures of Allah, or saying that we believe talking is better than killing, or by saying that honor killings is effing stupid, or saying “hey idiot, when you’re a violent thug you prove everyone’s point!”? Are we assuming these actions are “poking the bear”?
Because, see, I’m not assuming that the Muslims are reacting in such animalistic fashion because they are animals, but because they enjoy acting like animals. Acting like animals serves their desire for power and domination. That they can do it in the name of Allah (a very non-animal thing, religion) is all the better.
Bottom line, stupid analogy. Falls right into the same thinking:
- The gun killed
- Her miniskirt (or lack of burqua) made me do it
- It’s not fair that I don’t have a flat screen, that’s why I took it

Killer Women
Monday, September 25th, 2006Dr. Helen has a great post on how women killers are treated in the press. Lately we’ve heard about the women who cut a baby out of someone’s stomach, slit a mother’s throat, and now, cut the baby out, killing the premature baby, killing the mother and killing her children.
Do you despise these women as much as you despise Scott Peterson?
Do you excuse the Andrea Yates’ of the world while holding a man responsible and then some if he were to drown his five kids? How can women have equality if they can’t have equal treatment under the law for equal crimes?
As I noted over at Dr. Helen’s:
To get back to the point, I do think there is a defense mechanism protecting women and it’s not just feminists doing it.No person no matter their gender can easily wrap their psyche around a hateful, abusive mother. Husbands and fathers don’t want to believe that while they are away the children (or mor likely, one child) are being subjected to harsh, inhumane treatment–or worse. No woman who leaves her child in the care of another woman wants to imagine an abusive environment.
The helplessnes of children at the hands of a deranged woman, mother is not a picture anyone wants to imagine. It obliterates the madonna-whore female dichotomy. It obliterates the feminist self-view as women being lovingly superior. Women don’t do violence.
Well, guess what, women can be just as vicious and callous, as men. It just seems worse when women are endowed biologically with hormonal protective mechanisms to prevent this kind of behavior.
The rationalization is this: mom must love me, there must be something wrong with me. Transfer that to society and psychotic women murderers get off the hook.
Personnally, I hope she fries. There is no rehabilitating this empty shell of a human being. Thank God for her moral military boy friend!
Parents "Unaware" of Kid Drug Abuse
Monday, September 25th, 2006One of my favorite Shelley quotes is, “The eyes bring to seeing what they want to see.”
Who wants to see their kids using drugs and drinking alcohol? Here is my theory: the parents are inattentive to begin with, or some other family problem exists, and the kids cope or experiment while the parents are distracted.
Who wants to deal with a doped up kid while both parents are working like crazy? Who wants to deal with a doped up kid in the middle of divorce? Who wants to deal with a doped up kid when the church would find out and this would look bad? Who wants to deal with a doped up kid when fighting depression or other physical problems oneself?
Kids with future plans don’t do drugs. Happy kids don’t do drugs. Confident kids don’t start smoking. Secure kids don’t need to go to a party, drink themselves into oblivian to feel good about themselves.
Of course, parents are unaware of their kid’s behavior. Seeing it would mean dealing with it and dealing with it effectively would mean dealing with the cause and not just the symptoms. (Many parents trot their kids to the psychiatrist, medicate them–because, of course, the kid is the problem and are done with it.)
The authors of the study hope this “research helps parents wake up.” They haven’t woken up since the War on Drugs was declared, why would they wake up now?
