This horrible breach of thinking for herself and making a note has been exposed again–this time on Sunday during a campaign rally for Rick Perry. Yes, that’s right, I think it’s fair to say Sarah Palin is mocking “Handgate” by using it to send a special message to her mom. I think that’s called having a good sense of humor
The yearly alternative to the Super Bowl, Animal Planet once again offers the Puppy Bowl. This year it features bunny cheerleaders and a half-time show featuring kittens.
Palin told Chris Wallace she would run for President. Whatever her future may be, Sarah Palin says she won’t sit down and shut up.
CW: Why wouldn’t you run for president?
SP: I would. I would if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family, certainly. I would do so.
CW: How do you make that decision over the next three years?
SP: It’s going to be thankfully a lot of time to be able to make such a decision. right now I’m looking at as I say, other potential candidates out there who are strong. They’re in a position of having kind of this luxury of having more information at their fingertips right now, so that the current events we’re talking about today, they…
CW: wait, wait, wait. You’re basically saying you will consider it.
SP: I think it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country. I don’t know if it will be ever seeking a title, though. It may be doing a darn good job as a reporter or covering some of the current events.
CW: You’re going to consider, you are going to go through the process of thinking about it?

I was really surprised to hear DOJ claim 300 terrorists were tried in civilian courts under the Bush administration. I remembered the exchange between Holder and Lindsey Graham back in November over the KSM trial. The “We’re making history here” exchange. Graham asked Holder how many enemy combatants caught on the battlefield had been tried in civilian courts. Holder was stumped. He said he’d have to check. Sen. Graham informed him the answer is zero. Now the administration is saying 300 terrorists were tried in civilian courts.
Surprise, but the Obama administration is playing with the numbers. If you count “terror-related” crimes, like financial fraud, you get 100’s of civilian cases. If you mean enemy combatants caught on the battlefield, like, oh let’s say KSM, hmmm, not so much.
The Administration boasts that the United States has successfully prosecuted hundreds of terrorists in federal court in the past, and as such, we should continue to use federal courts for the most serious terrorists, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. What they don’t tell you, however, is that they are playing fast and loose with the numbers and types of terrorists tried in federal court.
The Administration’s numbers come from a report by a liberal organization called Human Rights First. Now, thanks to another outstanding article by Andrew McCarthy, we know the truth about the numbers and the Human Rights First terrorist trial report. The report analyzed 119 “terrorism-related” cases with 289 defendants (as of June 2, 2009) and found that 195 were convicted for a 91% conviction rate. But McCarthy, the former Assistant US Attorney in Southern New York and writer for National Review, explains that in its political calculation of “doubling down on civilian due process,” the Left is playing a bogus numbers game.
It is comparing apples to oranges to compare a terrorist who was one spark away from blowing a jetliner out of the sky and murdering hundreds of people to somebody who donated money to a front charity or helped move jihadist funds around.
One of the world’s oldest dialects, which traces its origins to tens of thousands of years ago, has become extinct after the last person to speak it died on a remote Indian island.
Boa Sr, the 85-year-old last speaker of “Bo,” was the oldest member of the Great Andamanese tribe, R.C. Kar, deputy director of Tribal Health in Andaman, told Reuters Friday.
She died last week in Port Blair, the capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which were hit by a devastating tsunami in 2004.
“With the death of Boa Sr and the extinction of the Bo language, a unique part of human society is now just a memory,” said Stephen Corry, director of Survival International, an organisation that supports tribes worldwide.
“Boa’s loss is a bleak reminder that we must not allow this to happen to the other tribes of the Andaman Islands,” he said in a statement.
No, maybe he can’t. President Barack Obama, who insisted he would succeed where other presidents had failed to fix the nation’s health care system, now concedes the effort may die in Congress.
The president’s newly conflicting signals could frustrate Democratic lawmakers who are hungry for guidance from the White House as they try to salvage the effort to extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and hold down spiraling medical costs. Obama’s comments Thursday night came hours after Republican Scott Brown was sworn in to replace the late Edward M. Kennedy, leaving Democrats without their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and Obama’s signature health legislation with no clear path forward…
“And it may be that … if Congress decides we’re not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not,” the president said. “And that’s how democracy works. There will be elections coming up, and they’ll be able to make a determination and register their concerns.”
That’s right Dumb Bastard, and then you get fired. The ironic thing here is, Urkel knows he’s got another three years no matter how much he screws up. That little message about voters “register[ing] their concerns” was a not so subtle slap at state Democrats at risk in November. The problem is, of course, the damage was already done–when they were carrying Dumb Bastard’s water last year.
Once again the Dems allow some strange guy with a questionable past to become a player because he spent a lot of money. Now they’re caught with some inexperienced neophyte who could “put us all in jeopardy.” Funny, but that sounds weirdly familiar…
Just when Illinois was starting to move on from the scandals of ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich, along comes Scott Lee Cohen.
Scott Lee Cohen
After the political unknown managed to win the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor Tuesday, it became widely known that he was accused of abusing his ex-wife and holding a knife to throat of an ex-girlfriend — a woman who was herself charged with prostitution. He also admits using steroids in the past…
Cohen, a pawnbroker and owner of a cleaning supplies company, ran against several veteran politicians but spent $2 million — mostly his own money — on his campaign, more than twice as much as all his opponents combined.
Cohen was arrested in 2005 on domestic battery charges for allegedly pushing his then-girlfriend’s head against a wall and holding…”I never tried to cut her throat,” he said on WTTW.
Hmm, when a politician has to say “I never tried to cut her throat” I think that may indicate there’s a little problem there. But maybe that’s just me.
