NSA Controversy In A Nutshell"Federal courts have consistently ruled that a president has authority under the Constitution to conduct foreign intelligence surveillance against our enemies. Predecessors of mine have used that same constitutional authority," Mr. Bush said. A week or two back a commeter challenged a liberal to say precisely what he would or would not do to protect this country's security. Apart from the obvious (don't invade Iraq, unless, I guess, the feared French Army was contributing 90% of the troops and airpower), he basically insisted that the Dems would do everything to protect this country as Bush has been doing. Except they'd be... nicer and less polarizing about it, or something. Prompting the commenter to sum up the liberals' position as: The Liberal Democratic Party We'll do everything Bush is doing! But we won't be HITLER! That's something I've noticed. The left likes to complain that Bush is acting as a dictator, etc., but when you suggest that they wouldn't do as much on security as Bush does, they claim "Oh dear, no, you misunderstand! We'd do everything Bush is doing! Plus maybe a little extra!" I don't get it. How can you simultaneously be for and against something? The Democrats have had this problem for, ummmm, forever, but especially in the past five years. You have to take a position at some point, people. You cannot simply perpetually whine about Bush's decisions and then claim "We'd have made the same decisions, only better and smarter." The very fact that you're making these nonsensical, self-contradictory criticisms sort of casts doubt on that "better and smarter" bit. Thanks to The Blogometer. posted by Ace at 01:29 PM

Columbia asks NYPD to evict colonizers from aboriginal Jewish lands; Kathy Hochul talks about bringing "safety" to campus; raid to come?
If you kick them off the campus, they'll just start a terrorist movement to "get their lands back." NYPD raids Hamilton Hall, which was renamed to Hinds Hall, to conduct the physical removal and arrests of campus protesters at Columbia. The Raid begins. Stinkies are being dragged out of occupied Hamilton Hall by cops. Cops have announced that they will be charged with criminal trespass.

Space Ice roasts the new Roadhouse
I think he's wrong but I know some of you didn't like it. His Best Movie Ever review of the original Roadhouse was funnier.
Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Here I Am at Intifada: "Are we willing to do whatever is necessary to preserve our freedom? The other side has clearly demonstrated what it is willing to do, and is actively doing, to take it away. That requires self-preservation 'by any means necessary.' As Allen Ludden (or Bert Convy) might say, the password is Revolution. Contemplating such a thing is unfathomable. But seeing New York City “fundamentally transformed” into Nuremberg-on-the-Hudson, the unfathomable quickly becomes not only fathomable but quite reasonable." My latest at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment! [J.J. Sefton]
Joe Biden knows what it's like for wives (or husbands) of policemen to get that phone call telling them their spouse has been shot, because "I've gotten one of those phone calls, under different circumstances"
Wow, Beau Biden was a police officer killed in duty in addition to being a daring warfighter KIA in Iraq or Afghanistan or wherever Joe needs it to be! A real renaissance man of action! And a first-rate all-purpose corpse!More Biden gaffes at Red State

WTF?! New York appeals court overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction from landmark #MeToo trial And yet Donald Trump was forced to pay off a psychotic liar and rape-fantasist for libel? A "libel" that accurately called her out as a liar for lying about him raping her in a Bergdorf's elevator? With the Alvin Bragg/Letitia James' Stalinist show trials still going on? It is to laugh. And vomit [J.J. Sefton]

Space Ice's review of Road House (the Patrick Swayze one) is so good that you'll start doing half-naked tai chi at dawn
He calls the villain in the movie "Bob Iger." He's always making jokes about what shitholes LA, SF, and NYC are. I'm telling you, this guy is a (taps nose) Good Fella. Recent Comments
