The left’s pathological hatred of all things Sarah Palin continued this week with yet another hit piece masquerading as journalistic investigation, this time through from Vanity Fair which given the mindset of its aficionados is as appropriate a name as can be applied. The article endlessly recycles long discredited lies and slander, apparently hoping no one . . . → Read More: Final Score: Governor Palin 1, Gutless Pukes 0

Now that everyone and their grandmother has chimed in on Michael Jackson’s passing, my turn.
First, I’ll make it clear from the start I was and am not a fan of the man’s music.

The phrase “media bias” is flung about so freely we’ve become almost inured to its usage. It’s easy, far too easy, to slap it on every story we don’t like as a convenient means of dismissing its contents, be they pro or con.

Every once in a while I throw together a bunch of songs and make a playlist for Mr. iPhone (yes, I do use it to make phone calls every now and then).

When we mourn the death of a celebrity, is it their death or how it notes our own aging we are mourning?
The Iranian ambassador to Mexico has insinuated the CIA was behind Neda Agha=Soltan’s death. Yeah, let’s reach out to these people. Starting with a left hook, followed by a right cross and maybe an uppercut . . . → Read More: Assorted Thoughts, Late At Night (Updated First Thing This Morning)

There’s a couple of pictures of a young woman currently circulating around the Internet. Her name is Neda Agha-Soltan.
Neda.
One picture reflects a serious yet serene demeanor, a look of calm resolution. The other shows a relaxed, winsome mood. They both show a beautiful young woman, one blessed with the kind of looks that turns heads. A . . . → Read More: Now The Struggle Has A Name
