Three guesses whose farms’ll be FIRST on the “chopping block.” (Pun intended.) And the first two guesses don’t count…

You Want Honesty From The Front?

September 8, 2008

Never, ever, ever count on the MSM, that’s for sure. But one source you can count on is Michael Yon, who’s been “embedded” - mostly at his own expense, believe it or not - since the war began.

Michael Yon: Where Eagles Dare

This is a dispatch from Afghanistan, and you want a spiritual lift with some just plain facts? Go there and read it for yourself.

Do-Over! Mulligan! Time Out!

September 8, 2008

One of these playground tactics will work, I’m sure!

CNN Politics: Obama: I once considered joining military

ABC News: Obama: My Answer on Abortion at Saddleback Church was Too Flip

Little Green Footballs: Obama Suddenly Remembers: He Almost Joined the Military

Politico: Obama considered joining military, regrets abortion answer

And yet another playground tactic from the would-be Leader of the Free World:

ABC News: Obama to Stephanopoulos: I could take Palin in basketball

Neener, neener, neener! Next, Obama will say that his dad can beat up her dad…

American Thinker: The End of Boomer Weirdness?

Compelling history along a theme I have long held:

“Boomer Weirdness” is the great eruption of irrationality that seized the West three decades ago, when the Boomer Left rose to positions of power. I don’t think the Boom Generation as a whole is any madder than other generations; but the Boomer Left — ah, now we’re talkin’ several curlicues short of a plumbline.

When the Boomer Left “Marched Through the Institutions” (as they called it) in the 1970s and 80s, you could actually see a sudden wild swerve in our news media, our universities and politics. The Democratic Party was seized by the Far Left after the 1968 Chicago convention. The New York Times went PC in the 70s, and you could actually see the new, Far Left orthodoxy lock down in a matter of months. It hasn’t recovered yet.

Great read!

Hemorrhaging viewers because of blatant Obamaism, but the “official spin” will be something more vanilla, likely.

Daily Laugh and Cheer Roundup

September 8, 2008

OK, I’m not used to actually enjoying myself this much, ever since Sarah Palin made the scene, but the humor and wit that’s bubbling up from other, like-minded fun-seeking political junkies is making it hard for me to keep up. I’d be posting 927 new posts every day if I tried to note every time something made me chuckle or cheer. So here’s my new plan:

I will post one per day (probably!), a roundup of the sites and lines that made me smile, shout, chuckle, guffaw, yell, roll on the floor, pump my fist in the air or almost pee my pants. The format will be the site URL itself, and the line of note. In most cases, you might benefit from reading the whole article before you get to the actual line I post.

Hope this helps, and isn’t too lethal! ;)

Here goes:

Funny Sarah Palin Campaign Ad

Commenty #25:
trout fishing? yeah, demean away.

joeindc44,

Dude, her degree is in journalism. Trout fishing is a step up.

Mother, May I sleep with Treacher?: A cheerful, bespectacled hockey mom has turned the entire mainstream media into one big suicide bomb, and all she had to do was show up

One of MANY excellent lines (read the whole thing!):

“The people have a right to know!” Yeah, the people have a right to know things that are true. These dimwits lost the right to use that argument when they ran with all these crazy slurs like it was the day before the election. It’s as if she said “Hi, how are you?” and they returned the greeting by trying to stab her in the heart. And now that they’ve missed, they’re trying to guilt her into buying them lunch. The affrontery is mindboggling. She’s under no obligation to help these creeps sell ads. She’s getting huge crowds and high poll numbers already, and so far she doesn’t need them to do it. The more they try to make her look like the bad guy for avoiding them, the more they will be despised.

Comment 1:

[snipped] Second, can someone please explain to me why the media is so important to the process of digging for the truth? You and Beldar don’t do this for a living, and you’re kicking their pathetic partisan ass all over the place.

Third, remember, to a leftist, ten days of punishment for any crime seems like too much. Society’s fault and all, you know. And if the criminals are all in jail, who will vote Democratic?

Comment 14:

Uh, technically, we have no evidence that the kid wasn’t actually committing some sort of crime at the time of the tasing….

“Sarah Palin was put on this earth for two things: to kick ass and kill caribou. She ran out of caribou.” -Jonah Goldberg

Little Green Footballs: Obama Suddenly Remembers: He Almost Joined the Military

Comment 53: Occasional Reader 9/07/08 9:08:57 am

I thought about being a Navy Seal and carrying out a single-handed rescue of the hostages in Iran. I even played that with my friends in the back yard. Vote for me; I have military experience.

Howie Carr: Media loves to hate Sarah Palin

You must understand printing lies about Republican candidates is OK. It’s called “vetting.” Printing the truth about liberals - that’s called “swift-boating.”

NOTE: The whole thing is a cheer-laden fest!

It Does Work, Folks

September 7, 2008

From the camp of the enemy itself comes this evidence that boycotting absolutely works:

MSNBC: Angry readers dump Us Magazine over Palin

The money quote:

Upset might be an understatement: One Us advertiser has admitted that they’ve received calls from angry former subscribers threatening to boycott their products. “(Us publisher) Jann Wenner supports Obama, Wenner media decided to follow the buzz around Palin before her speech, and now subscribers feel like a vote has been cast on their behalf,” says another magazine editor. “It’s going to be tough to bounce back from this one. Especially if the advertisers get involved. If they get nervous, that can hurt all of us.”

If you boycott it, the “come to Jesus” talk will follow…
