The Creators of The West Wing bring us Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
I’ve now watched two episodes of Aaron Sorkin’s new show, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Well, to be completely honest, I sort of watched two episodes, sinced I slept through most of the second.
The show has the usual Sorkin trademarks — [...]

Lovely, lovely writing from Jonah Goldberg:
Every serious analysis of the Islamic world today describes a genuine tectonic shift in a vast civilization, an upheaval that cuts across social, religious and demographic lines. This phenomenon dwarfs transient issues such as the Iraq war. Are we to believe that once-moderate and relatively secular Morocco is slipping [...]

“Something clearly worked, because the voters decided to do what our Founding Fathers envisioned; they are trusting me to rock the boat down in Washington…voters are idiots.” - Ned Lamont 08/16/06
“I’m not planning on staying there forever, I said 12 years on purpose, I don’t see this as being a life-long thing. Unless I die [...]

A normal leader would be thankful for the reduction in human trafficking, the drug trade and cross border violence that puts his citizens in harms way. A disingenuous person, such as Vicente Fox is simply greedy, as is everyone else who has a stake in maintaining the status quo.

Oh oh. This should rile the worker ants on the left. President Bush launched his big ol’ foot into the middle of the anthill today at a GOP fundraiser when he said “The greatest danger to America is not the U.S. military presence in Iraq, but rather a premature withdrawal of U.S. forces from the [...]

Israel, which is that oddity, a free society in the Middle East, is finally figuring out that a free press is one thing, a corrupt, dishonest press another:
The Government Press Office held a meeting with heads of foreign news agencies earlier this month to protest the doctoring of photographs of the recent Lebanon war and [...]

Last time I checked the Blind Sheikh wasn’t captured or “imprisoned” because of the war in Iraq. Speaking of getting it wrong, Nancy Pelosi urged the Unted States to treat the terrorists the same way we would want them to treat us.

I have noted many times that those on the left can’t help themselves. They will take any opportunity possible to loosely connect one of their pet agenda items with any given tragedy.

At Least they call the blogosphere “others”!
This is a good sign. The blogosphere is providing a check that the mainstream media just doesn’t do anymore. Thanks to the keen eye of Espresso pundit and the strength of the blogosphere we will likely see the anti-war (read anti-American) political statements removed from the Arizona 9-11 memorial.
