I’ve changed my mind – she should absolutely be the next anchor of the CBS Evening News – The Nose on Your Face has shown me the light! Excerpts here from her not-yet-aired interview with Tarheel Terrorist Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar. KC: Good afternoon Mr. Taheri-azar. MT: Were I not shackled I would kill you with my bare hands right now you vapid cur. KC: What a kidder! MT: I am most serious. [..] MT: I am not joking. I purposely... Read more
Confederate Yankee is wondering if the increased AlQaeda chatter we’re hearing about has anything to do with a NASCAR event scheduled for the 19th. In addition to pure carnage, al Qaeda is also into symbolism. The Twin Towers were a symbol of our economic reach and might, just as the Pentagon was the symbol of our military power.

The left has – essentially – decreed that George W. Bush is mightier than God Almighty. There are no acts of God, only Acts of Dubya. Gerard Vanderleun is pondering this. Here’s the thing,” [Spike Lee] said. “Even today, a large part of the African-American community of New Orleans thinks that those levees were bombed. Now, whether that is true or not, that should not be discounted.” He rattled off past government trespasses… “So, in the collective mind of African-Americans,... Read more

H/T to Mary Katharine Ham. Upon the revelation by George Clooney that Huffington Post celeb bloggers are probably NOT, Ace has decided to add a cabal of his own not-celebrity, probably-publicist guest bloggers. So far, Ace has not hosted Clay Aiken, who comes out of the political closet and Madonna, who is clearly studying Leo Rosten’s Joys of Yiddish. And Cathy Seipp has fun at Arianna’s expense and also at the expense of a few “real” journalists. On a serious... Read more

A church that doesn’t provoke any crisis, a gospel that doesn’t unsettle, a Word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin, what kind of gospel is that? Preachers who avoid every thorny matter so as not to be harassed do not light up the world! – Archbishop Oscar Romero Garry Wills – (Staggeringly Inarticulate Author, What Jesus Meant, Viking Press 2006): There is…a message of life and love in the New Testament. Little of that comes out of Rome... Read more
Byron Hill has a piece here on some donor money Hillary might want to return. NY Sun expounds upon the story.

This is the strangest thing I’ve ever heard of. Kim at Musing Minds says Betsy Newmark’s blogpage has gone missing! Blogger’s been having some problems and somebody named Sam has stolen Betsy’s URL. There is a page there called Betsy Page with one post that doesn’t say anything and two comments, one spam and one from Betsy herself. There were two posts earlier, but one is now gone.
