Partisan Retoric

David Limbaugh outlines very well what Bush would have said on 9/11 of he had been trying to give a partisan speech. Worth reading, just to get your self back in balance with reality. Speaking of reality, it appears there’s a bit of a shortage around at the moment. Exhibit A: What’s his name from…

Too much Heat, not enough Light

Sir Humphery’s has a very thoughtful piece on the Pope’s speech. “Sitting here thinking tonight, it came to me what Benedict was doing. I’ve read the entire speech a couple of times now, and I think that what he’s doing is reaching out to us, all of us that live in the West.” Far, far…

Patterico does have some great headlines 🙂 Mind, the LA times does ask for it something cronic. “That Terrible Program We Opposed Before Is Underfunded!“

Labour thinks we are all stupid

She has appeared increasingly irate at National’s tactics. But she didn’t authorise The Duck’s antics in exposing an alleged affair from…

Thought for Tonight

Next time someone tells you all religions are alike, ponder this: What is the equivalent of fatwas in Christianity?

5 Years Since 9/11

It’s now 5 years since 9/11. Of course, here in New Zealand, it was the 12th when we learnt about it all. Where was I? I woke up to the sound of National Radio as I always have. Now, I’m usually half-awake at this time so the news can get a bit jumbled. So when…

Why there will never be peace in the Middle East

David Farrar writes on the above topic. He’s right. Unlike David, I don’t find it funny anymore. It’s stupid and annoying. Fortunately, David and I only have to turn off the news. People in Israel have to duck rockets. —- I’ve been thinking quite a lot about the whole Israel thing lately. Who is right,…

But of course the press is consistently unbiased
