Bookworm Room

Yesterday, White House officials were telling Jake Tapper that Obama would support Israel.  Any minute moments of hope I cherished that the administration actually meant what it said were swiftly dashed.  This is Obama’s version of support: The Obama administration considers Israel’s blockade of Gaza to be untenable and plans to press for another approach [...]

I observed to my friend Joseph Libson that I’m of two minds about what appears to be an Obama implosion.  On the one hand, since I think he’s a dangerously bad president, I want him exposed as quickly and fully as possible, so that he is president for as short a time as possible.  On [...]

I don’t often do this, as you know, but I’m going to quote Jennifer Rubin’s post in its entirety here.  I think it’s important that people understand precisely what is going on in Washington and how it’s affecting men and women in Afghanistan.  Rubin, unsurprisingly, does as good a job as anyone summing up the [...]

Last week, I recommended that you read Carl Cannon’s Sarah “Barracuda” Palin and the Piranhas of the Press.  Cannon, who holds no brief for Palin, nevertheless thinks that the press’s behavior once she was on the national scene demonstrates that the American media is in freefall. Cannon begins by pointing out that, after offering their [...]

In medieval times, the king’s fool was often the only one who could speak the truth, but that in the guise of a joke.  Joe Biden is a little bit different.  Obama didn’t mean him to be the truth-speaking fool but, apparently, the guy can’t help himself.  AJ Strata caught him on TV today admitting [...]

Argghhh! is running a caption contest for a photo showing Joe Biden speaking to a group enrolled in the Navy SEALS program.  When you see the picture, you’ll understand why so many of the proposed captions involve the size of a gun or some other, more personal weapon.  I’m no good at manufacturing quips, so [...]

Yesterday, Mr. Bookworm and I found ourselves in a car heading south.  As we passed the Marriott at which Sarah Palin spoke (a speech I got to hear in person), this dialog ensued: Me:  That’s where Sarah Palin spoke. Mr. Bookworm:  Really?  Are you still going to tell me that she wouldn’t have been a [...]

The MSM has been remarkably cavalier about Joe Biden’s bizarre statement regarding the “fact” that America will be attacked six months into a Barack Obama presidency and that people will be shocked and disappointed by Obama’s response (meaning that he’ll either collapse in a sobbing heap, thereby horrifying most Americans, or launch a nuclear missile [...]

Big Lizard, rather than just looking at the obvious message in Biden’s “faux pas” about Obama’s international crisis chops (or lack thereof), took the time to go into the Way Back machine and find out just which particular crisis Biden meant — and it ain’t good folks.

The media is working hard to prevent the American people from hearing what comes from the conservatives, whether by ignoring it altogether, or by using selective cut and paste, or by engaging in intentional humiliation tactics (with their opposite number being saved for Obama).  Sometimes, though, verbal judo works — which is to say, let [...]

The subtitle to the Wall Street Journal’s article, Biden’s Fantasy World, says it all:  Sarah Palin may not know as much about the world, but at least most of what she knows is true.”  Biden not only lied during the debate, he showed himself well ensconced in an alternate reality.  Now that’s truly scary, especially [...]

I don’t know whether this Churchill story is true.  I first read it about 30 years ago in a book printed about 50 years ago.  It doesn’t sound like the man, but it’s a good story anyway for my purposes. Churchill was asked to give a speech to a trade organization.  He asked his secretary [...]

Charles Johnson, at LGF, is getting hacked off. As we could have predicted (and I’m sure he did too), the media is completely ignoring that, on multiple occasions, Biden lied through his teeth. Johnson took the five biggest lies — and the ones that are proven to be lies by actual video, no nuance required, [...]

I’ve watched almost all of the debate, but it’s bedtime now, and I’ll have to save the rest for later.  Three comments: 1.  The first, the most obvious, and the most pressing question:  How many botoxes did they kill to create that abnormally smooth, completely motionless forehead Biden was sporting?  That was creepy. 2.  Was [...]

It’s Saturday and I’m posting at McCain-Palin 2008.  As always, since I think it’s a wonderful cooperative blog, I’d like to get more traffic headed its way and, therefore, I’m publishing the beginning of my post here in the hope that you finish reading the rest of it there: Biden is a never-ending source of [...]

Governments tax people.  They always have.  A good question to ask, though, and one we haven’t seen asked lately is — what’s that money for? The Founders had an idea about what taxes were for.  In the Constitution Art. I, Sec. 8, they spelled out the purpose behind taxes: The Congress shall have Power To [...]

When the going gets tough, the candidate of hope and change, the one who assured us we’re in for the era of “a new kind of politics,” starts rolling around in the dirt and barking out the same old Chicago thuggery: “Sen. McCain bragged about how as chairman of the Commerce Committee in the Senate, [...]

Because I’d like to see traffic driven to the new Bloggers for John McCain website, to which I am a contributor, I’ll just print a little bit here of the post I did there regarding the Sarah Palin pick.  If you like the post, you can read the rest here: The more I think about [...]

Something very peculiar is happening at the AP, so much so that I think someone might be sneaking something into the AP water supply. Why do I say this? Because of the almost bizarrely objective series of articles the AP published on the occasion of Obama’s announcement that Joe Biden was going to be the [...]

I’m in a mad rush today, because it’s soccer, martial arts, soccer, slumber party.  Since I was on the list to post at Bloggers for McCain (I’m the Saturday person), I wrote my Biden post there and give you the link here.
