“Honest Liberal” comes out of the closet.

Finally, a mainstream media journalist fesses up and admits what democrats and the rest of the media have been reluctant to confess. In his Op-Ed Column for the Los Angeles Times Joel Stein boldly writes in plain as plain can be: I don’t support our troops.

The Day Osama Blinked

As an old joke goes, Osama Bin Laden summons one of his deputies to hear a daily report on the state of the Al Qaeda insurgency only to have his subordinate inform him that he has both good and bad news for the chieftain. The good news being that in a very short time they will be able to acquire a nuclear bomb. What’s the bad news? Osama asks; to which his deputy wryly responds: we have to drop it from a camel.

Democrat’s Shock, Awe and Move On

I was studying the ways that democrats have been operating on almost a daily basis, and I think I am onto them and what their plan of action is probably going to be for the foreseeable future. Or until they come up with a new one, which of course could happen any minute.

This is the pattern which seems to be emerging thus far. Bear in mind that the first thing to consider is that democrats desperately need a vision. They need something they can point their base to for an extended period of time and say: look, this is what we stand for.

Absent that (which seems to be the rule rather than the exception these days), democrats believe they only have one other choice; and that is to keep skipping over several issues like stepping stones on a cesspool, and beat each and every one of them like a one legged stepson, until both the media and the general public’s interest begins to wane.

Alito: An Offer Democrats Can’t Refuse

As I watched Senator Edward Kennedy’s stern (some would call it tiresome) grilling of Judge Alito during his confirmation hearings, I was beginning to wonder: what is the one thing that the lovable senator from Massachusetts has yet not brought up against Judge Samuel Alito? What could he possibly use to cast doubt upon the integrity of this judge from Italian American descent? And then it dawned on me; why, of course: organized crime ties.

After all, his name is Alito. That’s not Puerto-Rican is it?

Surely there must be some connection between La Cosa Nostra and this man who is being elevated to the highest echelons of power in the greatest country in the world.

I pictured Alito sitting with his father on the back porch, as the old man would tenderly confess that he was drinking more wine than he used to and cautioning him that the four other crime families would invite him to a meeting where he would be rubbed off. Then at the dinner table, Alito eating the antipasto with his brothers and extended family, and the adopted brother Tommy telling Alito that his father had great plans form him

But then I realized, wait a minute! That’s not Samuel Alito, that’s Al Pacino in the Godfather. That’s a movie for crying out loud!

Stem Cells of a feather…

If you are like me, when you hear stem cell research related terms like nuclear transfer and cellular differentiation you usually start looking at your watch and thinking of an exit strategy. Besides, it’s much easier to ostensibly engage in coffee table banter like the messianic properties of embryonic stem cells that will some day help Parkinson’s disease sufferers stop shaking and make paraplegics walk again; and how anyone who opposes this kind of revolutionary type of research surely must be grossly misinformed about the extraordinary discoveries made by the scientific community is the last few years. After all, what heartless creature would dare deny scientists their god given right to have unlimited access to these resources so that they can alleviate the suffering of these poor souls?

As I gather, embryonic stem cells (E.S.) are the earliest cells that produce from a fertilized egg.  Fertilized eggs are usually created promptly on the evening after most wedding receptions. Therapeutic cloning is a very clever euphemism that scientists use for the creation and harvesting of human embryos in order to extract these E.S. cells which have alleged miraculous powers. The problem is, by extracting these nascent cells the Embryo is terminated.
