Hope. Change. Disfigurement.

UPDATE: The authorities are skeptical.  The “B” is backwards on her cheek - which it would be if she carved it herself in the mirror.  It wouldn’t be backwards if the assailant was above her head when carving.  If it is a hoax, you can only be amazed at the level of stupidity involved.  Scar your own face, hurt whatever cause you were trying to help, and become an internet legend and dumbass all in one fell swoop.  However, she deserves the benefit of the doubt until the in...

Just a Nagging Question
From:  expattexan.com
If you repeatedly support an unrepentant domestic terrorist - a person who is an enemy of Western and American civilization - does that make you an anti-american?  Just wondering.  The answer seems obvious to me - but then we conservatives aren’t very nuanced, are we?  Does it make you an extremist if you support a man who believed that killing 25 million people was just the price you paid to bring communism to the US?  Just asking.        Read Full Story
Seething Anger Finally Explodes
From:  expattexan.com
First little old ladies get punched in the face for the crime of holding a Mcain sign.  Now, a woman is ritualistically maimed (what else can you call it?) for the heinous offense of having a McCain bumper sticker on her car. Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m. Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then be...

Ender’s Game is the best book EVAH!

But this little opinion piece is a nice bit or writing from Orson Scott Card as well. This housing crisis didn’t come out of nowhere.  It was not a vague emanation of the evil Bush administration. It was a direct result of the political decision, back in the late 1990s, to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people.  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans. What is a risky loan?  It’s a loan that the recip... Read Full Story
Ouch. That’s Gonna Leave a Mark

Global crisis fabricated from smoke and mirrors goes poof. To anyone paying attention to this topic in any thoughtful way - this article will contain nothing new.  For the global warming alarmists, however - the squeals and outrage are going to equal those of a leftist confronted with a different point of view.  Oh, wait a minute…….. Anyways - give it a read.  Nice to see words like “hoax” and “fraud” and “not credible” used in the same sentence... Read Full Story
Speaking of Things That Didn’t Happen
From:  expattexan.com
Seems like reporters at McCain/Palin rallies aren’t the only ones with a propensity for making shit up creating fanciful scenarios that never actually happened. A Muslim student who said a masked gunman assaulted her after he wrote anti-Muslim slurs in a women’s restroom at Elmhurst College has been arrested for filing a false police report, officials said today.

Too Bad They Missed, I guess
From:  expattexan.com
So, overheated, hysterical rhetoric about the rage and anger of McCain/Palin supporters.  Made up stories of poeple shouting “Kill Him” in reference to Obama at a Palin campaign stop.  People expressing fear of the toilet plungers being waved at Republican rallies to show support for “Joe the Plumber”.  Oooohhh, the seething, horrifying rage is just barely contained, don’t you know. Meanwhile, a little old lady is punched in the face by a crazed Obama supported, ... Read Full Story
The Implications of Policy
From:  expattexan.com
Apparently, there are none.  Just ask these Harlemites - who don’t appear to care too much what the policy is or what impact it may have - they only care that Obama’s name is attached to it. Not as compelling as using video from Al-Jazeera to paint all conservatives as ignorant racists, but interesting none the less. Does it strike anyone else as odd that the author of Republican bashing post denigrates an entire side of the political spectrum and labels them extremists by using... Read Full Story
