Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Israel is being urged to walk away from a war that isn’t finished. America is being asked to walk away from a war that isn’t finished (and this is a fact whether you believe she should be in Iraq or not). I can’t get out of my head an old
Continue readingI always assumed that the Left’s hostility to any efforts in the war against terrorists (“can’t we all get along?”) was a byproduct of Bush Derangement Syndrome, a la Groucho Marx’s “Whatever you’re for, I’m against it.” Ann Coulter, however, sees Ned Lamont’s election as proof of the opposite: As
Continue readingI just got to my computer now, which has me many hours behind early risers, let alone those early risers on the East Cost. I’m therefore only just assimilating the news about the foiled plot to blow up multiple US-bound British planes in the air. My first thought on hearing
Continue readingI have an unhealthy passion for butter, a food that, unlike chocolate, can’t be passed off as a health food. I limit my intake (hey, I’m not stupid), but I crave it. So, I was much taken with a bit of butter art: Sculptor Sharon BuMann, of Central Square, N.Y.,
Continue readingOne of Israel’s problemsin dealing with the Palestinians is that she has been a nation divided. In the many years dealing with the Palestinians, the Israelis have ping-ponged back and forth between Hawks and Doves, always trying to divine which approach held the greatest chance of a lasting peace. (In
Continue readingJust because I was curious, I checked out the Kuwait Times online to see how an Arab nation that’s pretty much on the sidelines is reporting on the Israel-Hezbollah War. I didn’t have to look very far. One of the headlined articles is “Israel on baby-killing spree.” Bizarrely, the article
Continue readingMy past few photograph posts have been following stories about Hajj’s decision to manipulate the photographs he took. Of course, that’s not the only thing that’s happening in Lebanon. Another huge problem is the fact that Hezbollah is faking entire scenes for photographers’ benefit. EU Referendum follows one such staged

Continue readingI don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure that Fidel Castro is not in some luxury Cuban hospital suite recovering from surgery. If he were, the press would be inundated with pictures of him, propped him in his hospital bed, holding a cigar, and waving to the camera. I
Continue readingThe MSM has fallen into the comforting (to it) rote of “land for peace” regarding the Israel/Hezbollah conflict. After all, this worked wonderfully in the media for the past 20 years when they were reporting about the Israeli Palestinian conflict. So well, that they were utterly unperturbed when Israel gave
Continue readingAmerican Thinker has a little snippet about a long-forgotten historical fact — Hitler rewrote the Bible to serve the Nazis. As part of this, he amended the Ten Commandments. Instead, of stating moral absolutes, that remind the good Nazis to subliminate themselves to the State. These are scary ideas, the
Continue readingThe Times did finally run a story about the Reuters/Adnan Hajj photograph scandal. Instead of telling it as a story about media manipulation involving the major news story of the day, however, it buried it in the Technology section. It’s not a bad story, it’s simply a very careful non-story
Continue readingAs I’m sure you know by now, the story about Hajj’s altered photos is hitting the MSM. The most recent story I read comes from the BBC. I found two things amusing. First, this “are they just being polite?” moment from Reuters: Mr Hajj, a freelance photographer working for Reuters,
Continue readingEarly reports from Drudge are that Lamont (with a third of precincts reporting) is winning and McKinney (with a tenth of precincts reporting) is losing. McKinney’s probable loss is scarcely surprising because she had a viable opponent and was becoming too nutsy to be of any value to her constituents.
Continue readingNPR ran a short segment on the faked Reuters photos, using an interview with a Reuter’s photoeditor. It soft pedals the whole thing, including omitting any mention about Charles Johnson’s Little Green Footballs, which exposed the fraud; and letting stand unchallenged the photographer’s new claim, not that it was a
