Flu Shots?

This should take a bite out of the Kedwards rhetoric on the subject: At GlaxoSmithKline, officials are working to get approval from the Food and Drug Administration to sell a flu vaccine in the United States. The company makes one in Germany for 70 other countries, but not in this country.

Quick Points

How can you identify someone with iris and fingerprint ID, if they have never been ID’d by either? Lurch? Anything? The Right of Choice is a Constitutional Right. Have searched my copy of the Constitution, couldn’t find that. Not in the Declaration of Independence, either. What up with that, John? 10:04pm Wealthy people, yada yada […]

Balanced Budget

Can Kerry possibly mention “balanced budget” just a few more times? Funny how he has forgotten his own record: U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) has attacked President George W. Bush on the budget deficit. While we don’t like the deficit either, we blame John Kerry for it because he was the one vote that killed […]

Blix and the WMD

Captain Ed has a post regarding Hans Blix and his prewar reports on Iraqi WMD (The Captain gives a hat tip to Secure Liberty.) Blix himself reported back to the UNSC that Saddam was not cooperating — which made the inspections pointless. Inspections can only confirm compliance; they cannot reliably determine locations and stocks of […]

That Kool Aid

Just a bit peeved off about “Kool Aid.” Throughout the blogosphere, forums, and the internet(s), the phrase “Kool Aid” has become somewhat popular. When did it become acceptable for it be be spoken on TV? Being as it is a reference to what the followers of Jim Jones drank (grape flavored), mixed with cyanide, to […]

So NC Isn’t a Target?

Kamran Akhtar, a Pakistani native, pled guilty to several charges in Federal Court this morning. He is the man who was caught video taping buildings in Charlotte, NC. Kamran Akhtar reportedly signed a deal last week agreeing to spend up to six months in prison before being deported to his native Pakistan. Appearing in court […]

Star Spangled Uh Oh!

Just one of those kinds of weeks, looking at the humorous sides of things, as well as a little more in the way of sports. So, in that vein, prepare to CRINGE (listen for the Uh, oh!) Picture Barkley standing there with a towel over his head, and covering his eyes. Long version here.

More on Sinclair

So now some Demorat Senators want a probe of the Sinclair Group broadcasting an anti Kerry piece on what is a privately owned group of stations. Where were they when Dan Rather and cBS were broadcasting a slander piece on the President of the United States of America using fraudulent documents, then, despite all evidence […]

Big Blue Blogging

Like many Giants fans, I am pleasantly surprised by the Giants play since the ugly Egirls game. And in general so far. I was looking for a 6-10 year, quite frankly. Figured it would take TC a least a year to purge the deadwood, and get them going. There is still, of course, a long […]

Those Norwegians

Captain Ed has a great article on a group of Norwegians placing an ad in the Washington Post that asks W to apologize to the Iraqi’s for invading and….liberating them. I would love to see W add it into a speech. In a truly sarcastic way. Include Chirac, Shroeder, Kerry, Gore, Clinton, Albright, and so […]
