Isn't Al Gore an American? Well, ok. Let me re-phrase that. Wasn't Al Gore born in America?
Then why is Al Gore able to skip out on anyone asking him tough questions on his stance on the sham-scam called Global Warming? Don't American journalists pride themselves for asking tough questions?
(But then,' [...]
Then why not muck with a private industry and ruin it for everyone.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A House subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday aimed at forcing college football to switch to a playoff system to determine its national champion, over the objections of some lawmakers who said Congress has meatier [...]
Behold the e~cart, proof positive that if environmentalists were in charge of the world 40 years ago, man would never have stepped foot on the moon.
--> [...]Ahem, I mean "Raaaaacism!"
An interesting conversation on the "Racism" charge, hosted by Jeff Goldstein. Key takeaway:
But — and here’s the rub — at what point is one justified in opening up a public examination on high profile websites — and what should the ground rules for such a case be? [...]
A parrot with a pirate on his shoulder?
This photograph, taken by Reuters stringer Mohammed Torokman, illustrates the European Union's traditional relationship to the Palestinian terror-tories as best as anything I've ever seen.
The clueless stare, the raised nose. The EU-funded terrorist smiling over his shoulder.
But hey, it's not' [...]
Seriously, the New York Times couldn't possibly behave any more like a 13-year-old girl with a crush.
Amongst other things the Drama Queens of New York consider to be a test for Obama?
Shortages in the vaccine stocks, the Afghan Valley, Malia's test scores, this year's State' [...]
... with a heavy emphasis on "moron."
A crackpot researcher at the University of Alberta has discovered that, shock upon shocks, children's television programming includes questionable political themes that don't "seem constructive for youngsters."
Questionable themes, huh?
Is she talking about Nickelodeon's radical leftist news reporter, Linda Ellerbee?' [...]
I was out and about last night, and ended up catching a breathless NBC News report about how the world's glaciers are getting ready to disappear within the next 30 years, and that we should all panic (by instituting draconian socialist global policies, but of course).
The report, to nobody's' [...]
... That reminds me, it's been a while since I've done a subscription drive around here.
Do you enjoy the articles we publish over here? The nutty environmentalist ones? The never-ending Obama-bashing? Even the occasional in-depth photographic review?
And do you use Google Reader, NewsGator, or even' [...]
You really need to click on over to read the full analysis for context, but before you do, please allow me to highlight the absolute funniest recap of Barack Obama's politics that I've seen to date:
So, to recap:
1. Obama has some budgetary magic beans. These can be spent multiple' [...]
They said that if Barack Obama were elected President, we wouldn't have to worry about payin' our mortgages or buyin' our gas any more...
And whadda ya know it, they were right!
One wonders if we'll ever see this Administration push a program that's actually successful (without ridiculous number-fudging, [...]
Don Surber informs us that the Heisman committee has unceremoniously tackled Barack Obama's chances of winning a tongue-in-cheek football trophy.
Complete with a hilarious picture that I wouldn't dare reproduce here, for obvious reasons.
Will the injustices of the world never cease?
-->Found on FR, a little chain-mail piece that has me in stitches (not that I'm biased or anything):
God was missing for six days. On the seventh day, Michael, the archangel, found him - resting. He inquired, "Where have you been?" God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through' [...]
Lance at Small Dead Animals provides the earth-shattering headline on the Climategate scandal:
THE E-MAILS WEREN'T HACKED, THEY WERE PURPOSEFULLY LEAKED FROM WITHIN!
Of course, considering that it's more "convenient" for the press to pooh-pooh the ethics of the "hacked" data, I don't expect this is going to be getting [...]
Aside from the fact that children are once again being used as props in support of yet another leftist movement, this caption cracks me up:
Children release balloons attached to a poem calling for climate change during a demonstration in Sidon, southern Lebanon, December 8, 2009. The demonstration was held to [...]
I know it's probably going to annoy the pants off of the two or three of you who still remain--oh, wait, I mean 9,000--but I'm gonna use my present Internet-deprived situation to post a press release that I was sent yesterday, if for no other reason than to try and' [...]
It looks like our main Internet connection here at the office is still offline, leaving we employees to the mercy of the frame relay backup connection.
Which is unbearably slow.
Unfortunately, that puts a damper on how much I can get done here, as every pageload takes about a minute and a [...]
On December 7th, 1941, America was plunged headfirst into a global war that was not of our choosing. In remembrance of the dark days of today, I'd like to remind you that at one point, we were a nation in far worse shape. Despite all of the hardships' [...]
It would appear, that stupid actions have consequences and, as it turns out, intended reactions.
Recently, the Palestinian Authority went behind Israel's back, again, and requested that the United Nations unilaterally grant it Statehood status.
Israel and the UN said, umm, NO.
In another "off" story, we find out what happens in a bad nanny-state type of government?
You no longer have the right to run your own life, live like you want to, raise your family as you see fit, nor protect your family in your own way.
Case in point, the [...]
These two photographs, taken by Reuters stringer Yiannis Behrakis and AP photographer Nasser Ishtayeh, appear to have been taken at the exact same second. Notice the position of the gentleman in green, along with where the stones are in their flight. It's identical in both angles.
This raises a question [...]
Jessica's Well on the ClimateGate scandal: I can feel the hot sizzle of the heretics now, fellow Scientists!
Nevermind that yours truly is someone that Charles "Mad Dog" Johnson and his ilk would gladly throw on the aforementioned sizzling fire -- What I want to know [...]
John Hawkins from RightWingNews has pretty much been ignoring me for the past three years now, but I can't imagine that he can keep doing that now that we were amongst the TOP TEN most-clicked links from his Linkiest project (formerly known as Conservative Grapevine):

Sadly enough, given how spineless the leaders of the world are today, I fully expect this exchange will easily outperform the Dow Jones Industrial:
HARADHEERE, Somalia (Reuters) - In Somalia's main pirate lair of Haradheere, the sea gangs have set up a cooperative to fund their hijackings offshore, a sort [...]

Vinne at TJR reposts an article written by the famous author on his forum yesterday.
An article which just happens to include graphics from here and here. And you know what? It's just too daggum uncanny to be coincidence... Ergo it's gotta be true, right?
(Hey, if that level of evidence works for [...]
I've been totally tied up in meetings this morning, so I'm way behind.
With luck, I'll be caught up on ye olde newsreader by sometime next week.
Or sooner. We shall see...
--> ' [...]Noz, I'm specifically looking for your input on this. It goes without saying that I won't be holding my breath for a statement out of the peace-lovers at Amnesty International, since an event like this goes pretty heavily against their preprogrammed views of the "oppressive" Israelis.

Just because wire photographers think Obama's speech from last night was the most serious thing ever doesn't mean that you can't have a little bit of fun at the photographers' expense. (Oh, and our congratulations to Brad Thor, whom is apparently an oft-read favorite over at West Point.)

Is there an Advil for that?
AP stringer Pablo Monsivais captures this brilliant composition, which I think illustrates quite clearly how weary the adult members of our population are with the childish antics of the anti-War (but strangely silent about non-American wars) left.
But still, did he wait a while [...]
From the esteemed Anthony Bedell, Chairman of the Fairfax Republican Party:
Late tonight Steve Hunt won the Republican nomination in the 37th Senatorial District over Marianne Horinko and Will Nance. Each candidate ran a great race and should be proud of their individual efforts despite the results.
Now it is time [...]
Simple news for simple minds. Though this might be too intellectual for CJ. So, am sure you all will enjoy it.

I'm not sure where TC is getting his data from, but I'm very excited to hear it.
You know what they say: We could send 40 men of high stature to the Senate... or we could just send Steve Hunt!
Or something like that... ;)
I'll keep you posted once I hear' [...]
You know, I've got the greatest idea ever: If you don't want to see your family members get killed in the streets, then stop encouraging them to try to kill innocent civilians. Or heck, maybe even try to stop hating said innocent civilians for just one little bit, and see [...]
Somehow, I have a feeling that had the roles in this particular fight [moderate warning] been reversed, Reuters would have picked a much harsher word than "scuffle" to describe it:
A Jewish settler touches his head after he was injured during scuffles with Palestinians at a house in the [...]
Time and time again, the effects of "green" living shows that it is not "green". It does not save "green". It does not create "green" jobs, nor does it cause the earth to "green".
What it does do is cause people to turn red in rage and their accounts to see [...]
Says the White House's buffoon bouffant, "I'm not entirely sure, uh, what qualifies the former Vice President to render an opinion on Afghanistan."
Let's just say that we dastardly Republicans here at Snapped Shot might have an idea or two.
Former Secretary. Of Defense. Richard B. Cheney.
Of Defense.
Mr. Shubin has done more in one act to protect our police and military forces than many of today's politicians--or, dare I say, the entire staff of Washington Post--have done in their entire lifetime.
For that, I mourn the passing of this humble man:

I used to keep an occasional eye on Mahmoud's blog way back in 2006, but apparently, it fell out of fashion at some point since then.
Never fear, though -- Mahmoud is back online, and he's back with a vengeance.

If you're looking for a strong Constitutionally-minded candidate to replace Ken Cuccinelli in the Virginia Senate, and you're a Republican, and you live in the 37th Senate District, then I've got a story for you:
In a followup to this childish impetulance, we have an amazing series of pwnages to chronicle:

I linked Ace's article in the Fast Lane earlier this evening, but I think it bears a broader look.
In your traditional Cult-of-Personality dictatorship, say for example one such as Josef Stalin's reign, every action and activity is traditionally set in terms of the Leader to whom the [...]
In a not-so-stunning repeat of 2007, it would seem that Iran has taken another set of British sailors hostage:
The Foreign Office confirmed that a racing yacht owned by Sail Bahrain and crewed by five British sailors was detained by the Iranian Navy on November 25.
The yacht had been on [...]
You know, with all the attacks by the greens and the freedom-hatin-capitalism-hatin leftists in our world decrying our energy usage, one must wonder how projects like these EVER get constructed. Without a peep from Al Gore.
CERN announced early Monday that the Large Hadron Collider has become the world’s highest-energy [...]

When you see this photo, taken by Reuters stringer Sharif Karim, do you think:
(a) What kind of news agency treats the rantings of a murderous thug as a valid democratic expression?
(b) Did Sharif Karim go out of his way to select a woman raising her hand in order [...]
Fresh on the heels of the Climate scandal that's rocking the world, we get a "What, Me Worry?" from the Presidential Spokesdunce-in-Chief: (I'll translate Robert's babblings for you in italics below.)
