THADDEUS MATTHEWS SCRUBS HIS OWN POSTS12 May 08

It appears the anti-Thaddeus has arrived after discovering, as we did, that Thaddeus Matthews scrubs his comments.

In response, Matthews wrote a post fingering talk radio host Andrew Clarksenior as the site’s author. True to form, however, Matthews has taken the post down. It’s still available in the Google cache, though, so you can behold it in all its glory.

I’ve placed a screen-shot below the fold: (more…)

AN EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER08 May 08

water bowl

I believe I’ve indicated that the puppies like to fight, but I’m not sure I made it clear that they bite and scream and claw and yelp and ravage each other constantly, non-stop, every chance they get. There’s nothing I can do to stop them from killing each other, and they never rest. Whenever they’re together, they’re exchanging fangs. That is, except for one instance…

Excuse me, Eden just peed on the floor.

Ok, back. She knows better than that, because she did the other thing as soon as we went outside. But I’m glad I caught her in the act and scared her straight, although I do think she’s pure evil and did that out of spite.

Anyway, as I was saying… there is one one exception to the kill-each-other-24/7-rule. And that is the thirst factor. When one pup is drinking, the bloodsport takes a time out. It’s game-off for approximately 35 seconds, and then Round 488 begins.

So because the water bowl is a de-militarized zone, I’ve decided to remodel our home and cover the floor with wall-to-wall water dishes. Problem solved.

Now back to my previously-scheduled chaos. Wait, no… Freckles is drinking. Score!

DNC HISTORIAN NEEDED07 May 08

A Clinton apologist spins it just a bit too far:

“Never before in the history of our party does somebody back out when we don’t have a nominee.”

Terry McAuliffe - May 7, 2008 - Special Report

Perhaps someone should introduce McAuliffe to Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Tom Vilsak, etc., etc.

HOW DO YOU SPELL TREASONOUS?07 May 08

Behold, the most shockingly faulty logic to ever enter a human mind:

How do you spell blowback?

Maybe this technically isn’t blowback. More like creating terrorists. I suppose now the argument for indefite [sic] detentions will be something along the lines of:

We can’t release the prisoners because, if they weren’t actually terrorists before we locked them in our gulag and tortured them for information, they almost certainly will become terrorists if we let them go.

Future generations will study Jeff’s words with an equal mix of befuddled amusement and disgust.

They will wonder how anyone could possibly come to posit the theory that an otherwise disinterested young Middle Eastern man decided to blow himself up in Iraq as retribution for a brief stay in an American military prison, nearly three years after being released to his home country, after having said this during his hearing:

“I don’t blame the Americans for what they did by bringing us over here and detaining us over here. If I were in their place I would go out and look for terrorism all over the world like they did but I have a feeling it is going to be a just decision by the Americans. That is my feeling. I would do the same thing if I were in their shoes. I would capture the bad people, the terrorists and bring them over here and detain them.”

They will wonder how Jeff instinctively rushed to the defense of a soldier who went AWOL from the Kuwaiti military in order to join forces with the Taliban in Afghanistan, and later became a suicide bomber in Iraq, over the testimony of his own country’s defense agencies, who correctly deemed the suspect a “continued threat to the United States and its Allies.”

They will wonder how Jeff came to take the final piece of evidence of the man’s terrorist proclivity as proof of his innocence.

And then they will question why such thinking had become so commonplace among liberal Democrats at the turn of the century, and why so few were willing to call them on it.

THE INCREDIBLE CRY06 May 08

The New York Times declares Senator Clinton a “working class hero:”

“I don’t think folks in Washington listen enough,” Mrs. Clinton said in Greenville, a catch developing in her voice. “Because if we listen we will hear this incredible cry: ‘Please just pay attention to what’s going on in our lives.’”

Many voters at these events marvel at Mrs. Clinton’s understanding.

I marvel at her misunderstanding; the reason the cry is incredible is because it’s not true. We don’t need the “folks in Washington” to “pay attention to what’s going on in our lives;” we need them to go away and leave us alone.

She’s right on one thing, though: the folks in Washington don’t listen enough, herself included. If you know you aren’t listening, how do you know what you’re not hearing?

The real cry is, “keep your nose out of our business, keep your hands out of our pockets and keep your propaganda out of our schools.”
