Stephen Hayes, Probably Not The Best Connector
I notice that Stephen Hayes has co-written a piece in the Weekly Standard called “Connecting the Dots”. By now you probably know where it’s coming from, trampling the well worn path that asserting that Malik Hasan was a terrorist. Maybe he is. Maybe he’s an Al Qaeda agent, but frankly, we don’t know that at [...]
Military Fraudsters Are Scum
Total scum.
Steve Burton, 39, never served in any branch of the U.S. military, but he was seen and photographed several times wearing a Marine uniform and various medals, including the Navy Cross, the highest medal awarded exclusively by the U.S. Navy, federal investigators said.
The Palm Springs, California, bank officer entered a not guilty plea Thursday [...]
Sniper No More
It’s likely that about 51 minutes after I post this, the DC Sniper wil have been put to death in Virginia. The death penalty is best invoked with guys like John Allen Muhammad who not only killed innocents in cold blood but did so while terrorizing an entire region. The only regret I’ve got is [...]

People Watched Girl Get Gang Raped, Did Nothing

Roman Polanski Is A Child Rapist
If you’re a celebrity defending Roman Polanski, you’re defending child rape. You’re endorsing a child rapist. Child rape? If you stand with Roman Polanski you are standing with a child rapist.
And if you’re Woody Allen while doing this, you’re even sicker in the head.

Former Rep. William Jefferson, a Democrat who had represented parts of New Orleans, was accused of accepting more [...]

It Doesn’t Matter If Pelosi Knew
As John notes, whether Nancy Pelosi knew or didn’t know about the Bush administration’s authorization and execution of torture doesn’t matter. Either Pelosi didn’t know or she abdicated her responsibility as a political leader and American by not speaking up and opposing it. Either way, it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that the government tortured people.

Catholic Church Hid Child Rapists Decades Before Previously Acknowledged
As I’ve said in the past: Until the church is subject to a full RICO-style investigation of its serial crime, justice will not be served.
As early as the mid-1950s, decades before the clergy sexual-abuse crisis broke publicly across the U.S. Catholic landscape, the founder of a religious order that dealt regularly with priest sex abusers [...]
Our Addiction Fuels Mexican Drug Wars
So says Sec. Clinton.
“Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade,” she said, using unusually blunt language. “Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians.”
Since last year, drug-related killings and battles between law enforcement authorities and [...]
