Update On August 6, 2001, "A Day Of Infamy"

As covered below, Elizabeth Bumiller, hard-left hardcore hack, decided to slip in an anti-Bush non-sequitor into a rather lame piece about Bush's vacations.

I knew she'd done it before, but I'd forgotten when. She previously made certain to mention that CCR's Fortunate Son -- about a "Senator's son" who didn't have to go to Vietnam -- was not on Bush's iPod.

Not that it was on his iPod, which would be somewhat ironic and yes, a bit newsworthy. But that it wasn't. Which is akin to noting that John Kerry's iPod did not contain the Edgar Winters' classic Frankenstein.

Thanks to Slublog for the reminder. He's also ever so glad we have a professional media that doesn't stoop to the hyperpartisan snarking and inappropriately off-the-cuff politicized slams that amateur blogs do.

I also heard that the President doesn't beat his wife. I can't believe that the MSM is missing that point.

Fortunate Son is a kick-ass song. The best anti-war song ever written, I'd say. And certainly a good argument against a draft-era army, where the poor can't get, or don't know how to get deferments. Doesn't apply to the modern military at all though.

The song doesn't even apply to Bush. John Fogerty was a member of the California National Guard, so I doubt he would have referred to a member of the Texas Air National Guard as a draft dodger.

Ace, please stop chilling their dissent. The public has a right to know these things. Besides, if they reported it, you can be sure that he really doesn't have it on there. "Multi-layer" such and such or whatever.

My family celebrated PDB Day the first couple of years. But it's gotten so commercialized lately.

Exactly, Paul. I mean, I don't know about you, but with all of the sales, I sure as Hell stayed away from the mall this weekend.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
