Via BNO News’ Twitter feed, waiting for it to come up on Reuters and other news sources Reuters: President Obama calls on the Iranian government to “stop all violent and unjust actions” against the Iranian people. President Obama says Iran must govern through consent and not through coercion to gain global respect. Earth to Sparky, […]

Oh, hey, look, AGW Believers were lying and making it up. Don’t believe me? How about believing The new federal report on climate change gets a withering critique from Roger Pielke Jr., who says that it misrepresents his own research and that it wrongly concludes that climate change is already responsible for an increase in […]

Over at The New Republic, a post by Jonathan Chaite entitled “Will the Conservatives Please Attempt An Argument? ” President Obama has taken a cautious tone toward the demonstrators in Iran, with his stated reason being that more open support would discredit their cause. This strikes me as a sensible position. The revealed preferences of both sides […]

It’s actually become rather routine President Obama’s choice as chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the status of an ambassadorship, did not file tax returns for 2005 and 2006, errors she corrected last November. Surprising, eh? As a sidebar, remember who the NY Times mostly referred to GWB as “Mr. […]

Have y’all seen this video yet? Â From the Chicago Tribune There’s plenty of room for “yes men” in the nation’s capital. Less for “yes, Ma’am.” Sen. Barbara Boxer’s suggestion to a general that she’d really rather be called “senator” has raised a few hackles here. “Could you say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am?’ ” Boxer […]

Hmm, I wonder if Obama will say he is “deeply concerned,” but thinks that we can still negotiate with North Korea’s mad man Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he has ordered the U.S. military to take defensive measures should North Korea attempt to fire a ballistic missile toward Hawaii. “I think we are in a […]

I don’t think this story actually means what Excitable Chucky thinks it means Some 3.9 billion years ago, a shift in the orbit of the Sun’s outer planets sent a surge of large comets and asteroids careening into the inner solar system. Their violent impacts gouged out the large craters still visible on the Moon’s […]

There are times to be concerned about the ultra-progressive agenda of Obama and the Donkeys, and times to take a chill pill. I do believe that, in this case, Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) has gone a bit overboard. Not quite in Dennis Kucinich’s league, and she certainly hasn’t compared our troops to Nazi’s, Pol Pot’s troops, […]
