Ah, full speed broadband – how I have missed you. Let us never part again.

100 Days of Change

Here’s a good clip from the Family Research Council showing how badly Obama lied during the campaign on moral issues. He’s now completely reversed some of his apparent positions that he articulated during the campaign. The way some of the clips are edited makes me suspicious, and it’s very dramatic, but there’s still a lot [...]

Obama Second Worst in first 100 Days

For some reason, the media are making a massive deal about Obama’s first 100 days. Gateway pundit has a couple of items that aren’t making the news. 1. He’s the most reviled president after Clinton at this point in his presidency. If you look past his cheerleading squad in the mainstream media you’ll see that [...]

Dem Leaders Ok’d Waterboarding

Well, this is a big yawn to me, but some people still don’t seem to get it, so we must repeat until the lesson is learnt. Republicans, hoping to turn the tables on Democrats who are open to prosecuting Bush-era lawyers for justifying “enhanced” interrogation techniques, are seeking to reveal the names of those lawmakers [...]

Irony in Spades

NewsBusters has a case which is right up there with that survey that found Atheists believe in fairies. This is just too funny! A liberal Ivy League student decides to enroll at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University in Virgina and write a book exposé (The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner’s Semester at America’s Holiest University) supposedly showing [...]

Swine Flu

Stupidity, it seems, knows no bounds as MacDoctor found out yesterday. I seems to me that there is a distinct lack of co-ordination at all levels of the health service on this matter. I am particularly appalled that Health Line – whose number is given out routinely by the Herald for those seeking advice on [...]

What Next

Well, there’s one less thing about Obama that we thought we knew. He never taught constitutional law.

Reply to Tim

Well, it seems that Tim has joined a conversation over at Ethical Martini. I am highly amused at his descriptions of the respective blogs. Tumeke’s mildly left-of-centre-ish in a libertarian pro-capital kind of way; Whaleoil is hard-right. Keeping Stock and SSGHML are variants of  some weird Christian intermediate thingy which both lean heavily rightwards. My [...]

Faith’s Check Book

Sometimes, just when you need it encouragement comes along. I opened up Spurgeon’s online “Faith’s Check Book” yesterday, and this was the entry. Power to Raise The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down. (Psalm l46:8) Am I bowed down? Then let me urge this word of [...]

Boycott Tumeke

Whaleoil isn’t happy with Tumeke! supporting Ahmadinejad. Now, looking at the comments on the post in question we have this gem from Tim. Tim Selwyn said… Scott: I want Israel wiped off the map too – wiped off the map, but not in the way the Jewish state has wiped the Palestinians off the map. [...]
