Around the Web

A few points of interest from around the Web (No, I haven’t forgotten about the blog or the work-in-progress case for life):
–
North Korea’s nuclear reactor might have been shut down. Maybe some good will come out of Bush’s remaining years after all…
–
The parents of Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt are demanding Jack Murtha be censured for prematurely accusing their son, among others, of atrocities in Haditha, Iraq. Hmm…I thought there was a word for conduct like Murtha’s…
–
Tension with Iran heats up. Where’s PETA?
–
Jonah Goldberg provides some interesting reading on the death penalty.
–
And this is what passes for intellectual heft in the world of atheism. Sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be throwing away my crosses anytime soon.

Odds & Ends

Calvin Freiburger 2008, Baldwin, Biden, Darfur, Hollywood, Iran, McCain, parenting, school shootings, stupidity
John McCain jokes about bombing Iran, then tells predictably-shocked (shocked!) liberals to “get a life.” Good for you, Senator.
–
Meanwhile, another Hollywood leftist turns out to be a rotten bloke in his personal life. Does this count as “verbal violence,” Senator Obama? Unlike the Rutgers basketball team with Don Imus, this poor girl actually had to spend long periods of time with this creep, whose tirade was far more vicious than “nappy-headed ho.”
–
Oh, and Jo[k]e Biden decries the “politics of polarization,” saying “since 1994 with the Gingrich revolution, just take a look at Iraq, Venezuela, Katrina, what’s gone down at Virginia Tech, Darfur, Imus. Take a look. This didn’t happen accidentally, all these things.” But there’s nothing polarizing or divisive whatsoever about blaming a political party for, among other things, a school shooting and overseas genocide in the same breath. Nope. Nuthin’.

Alan Colmes Makes Me Sick

Calvin Freiburger Colmes, Iran, Islamofascism, liberalism, War on Terror
He just said that Iran (you know, the guys who kidnapped a group of British sailors) doesn’t want a conflict because their rhetoric is “softening.” So lemme get this straight: As long as they talk nice while they’re committing flagrant acts of aggression, it counts as a net decrease rather than an escalation?
–
Reminds me of the scene in Mars Attacks where the Martians announce “Don’t worry; we are your friends!” as they’re shooting everything in sight. Except, of course, then the Left presumably knew it was a joke.
