Northern Alliance Wannabe

  • Later...

    It's been a good run, but Northern Alliance Wannabe is hanging up the cleats (for now, at least –- I reserve the right to pull a Brett Favre at any time...).

    I've decided to go in a different direction with my writing. With Wannabe, I tried to pretty much [...]

  • Someone over there gets it

    A friend sent me a link to this Telegraph article: George W. Bush - buffoon or great leader?

    In the article, Sameh El-Shahat lays out a case that is, in my opinion, well ahead of the curve. Eventually, I believe this will be the generally accepted historical narrative [...]

  • RIP, Tony

    Tony Snow died of cancer today. There are few with the breadth of experience Tony had on both sides of the fence between journalism and politics; he served in the administrations of both current and former Presidents Bush, and he was a long time anchor at Fox News.

  • Another "Reverend Problem"

    B. O. sure does have a lot of crazy uncles! This time, it's Jesse.
    The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for saying Barack Obama is "talking down to black people" during what Jackson thought was a private conversation before a FOX News interview Sunday.

    Jackson was speaking to [...]

  • Happy Independence Day

    Hey, all. I hope you and your families all had a wonderful 4th of July. It's a time to celebrate not only the anniversary of our country's independence, but also the freedoms that we enjoy as Americans.

    That includes, of course, the freedom to be a jerk.

    For [...]

  • This war is lost...

    ...or so say those who can't be bothered with the facts.
    You may have thought it was big news Tuesday when the administration reported to Congress that Iraq has made satisfactory progress on 15 of 18 political benchmarks set by the U.S.

    Just last year, there was progress [...]

  • Obama hypocrisy of the day

    It appears that our friend Barack Obama is again advocating change -- changing history, that is. Obama has again applied a rather loose definition of "passed a law."
    Barack Obama is championing welfare reform in his new television ad titled "Dignity." The ad says that Obama "passed a law [...]

  • Looking out for the little guy

    Some silliness across the pond:
    The European Union has barred a British market vendor from selling a batch of kiwi fruits because they are one millimeter smaller than E.U. rules allow.

    The Daily Mail reports that Tim Down's stall in the city of Bristol was examined by government [...]

  • Obama hypocrisy of the day

    Today's installment: the issue of "equal pay:"
    Barack Obama has vowed to make equal pay for women a priority if elected president and even told supporters in New Mexico last week, "McCain is an honorable man... but when you look at our records and our plans on issues that [...]

  • SF strikes again

    More wisdom from the San Francisco Board of Indoctrination Education:
    The San Francisco Board of Education has decided that schools can no longer award physical education credit to students enrolled in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps.

    The San Francisco Chronicle described Thursday's board meeting as "hastily scheduled" and [...]

  • Truth-challenged

    President-wannabe Barack Obama seems to be having a hard time telling the truth lately. Here's another example.
    Barack Obama's first general election ad says about 46 seconds in that the Illinois senator passed laws that "extended health care for wounded troops who'd been neglected."

    The ad "Country I [...]

    Bill Bennett and Seth Liebsohn have put out a thoughtful summary of reasons why an Obama presidency would be dangerous.

    I list the bullets below, but the article expands on each point thoroughly. I encourage everyone to go read it in full.
    1. Barack Obama’s foreign policy is [...]

  • All the cool kids are doing it

    I was particularly disturbed by the story last week about the purported "pregnancy pact" at the high school in Gloucester, MA. Of the 600 or so girls at the school, 17 are currently pregnant, and there were many others who, according to the principal, were visibly upset when they [...]

  • Seal abuse

    It did not go unnoticed that our friend Barry Obama took some liberties by displaying on a podium from which he was speechifying a personalized logo that looked eerily similar to the official Presidential seal.

    Judge for yourself:



    Personally, I find this [...]

    Alright, break's over I guess. Thanks to those who noticed I was gone from the blogosphere and encouraged me to break the silence.

    Now's not the time, but soon I'll let you all in on what exactly has had me so distracted lately. No whining, though, I promise. If [...]
