SecState in a Headband?

So, the Obama administration’s “smart diplomacy” on Iran is not working. And this is very troubling, indeed. Iran is test-firing increasingly advanced missiles at a time when, as Ed Morrissey notes, the B+ President Obama has awarded himself includes having both “made progress toward halting” nuclear weapons in North Korea and um…cancelling our installation of [...]

Hey, whatever happened to Hillary, anyway? -UPDATED

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, ‘WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!’” Do you think we could get Hillary to re-record that, [...]

Quiet today. After gabbing and watching videos through the night, we put Buster on a plane headed back to school early this morning, then went to mass and – since it was offered – took the opportunity to go to confession, and then came home and promptly fell asleep until the early afternoon. Can’t remember [...]

Don't let the psy-ops throw you – UPDATED

Election 2004 H/T Gatewaypundit I’m getting a sense that some people are freaking out, out there, that it’s three weeks to election and so it’s time to hyperventilate. Of course that’s not true. Three weeks is still a huge chunk of time in an election, and things turn on a dime. The whole point of [...]
