Erick Erickson, posting at Red State, called Cindy Sheehan a "left wing media whore in the form of a grieving mother." Not kind words, and not words that I agree with necessarily. (And funny, didn't some left-wingers formerly publish a...

I have a confession to make. I suffer from what is called "exploding head syndrome." That is to say that I hear things when I fall asleep. Well, not just "things," but you'll see what I mean. Let me give...

Thanks to all who submitted links in the recent "call for links" posts. I'm working on getting several of the links added to the blogroll, but for some reason Typepad doesn't really want to co-operate with me tonight. But they'll...

Westerners considering separation

More than one-third of western Canadians surveyed this summer thought it was time to consider separation from Canada, a poll suggests. In the survey, 35.6 per cent of respondents from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia agreed with the statement: Western Canadians should begin to explore the idea of forming their own country.

Interesting. According to historians, about 1/3 of the colonists in what became the United States were in favor of that independence movement, so maybe there's enough sentiment up there for something to happen, eh?

Cindy Sheehan is making some wild statements. First we have her saying she will not pay her 2004 taxes:My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004, Sheehan told an audience of Veterans for Peace....

Claim: Muslims Had Nothing to Do with 9/11; Dirty Zionist Hands Behind It

This guy shows apparent evidence that he lives on some other planet since he's describing something that has no resemblance to any reality on Terra.

"Our enemies weave many lies about us, which we are not necessarily aware of. For example: One day, we awoke to the crime of 9/11, which hit the tallest buildings in New York, the Empire State Building [sic]. There is no doubt that not a single Arab or Muslim had anything to do with these events. The incident was fabricated as a pretext to attack Islam and Muslims. The plan was to take over the world's energy sources, and to achieve this control by force and not by agreement or negotiations, by interests, free trade, or anything like that. This is what they wanted. "So this incident was fabricated - and Allah knows that the Arabs and Muslims are innocent of it - in order to serve as a pretext to attack Islam and the Muslims.

Seriously though folks, the Chief doesn't know whish is worse: that he believes this is true, or that he knows it isn't. If he believes it is true, then the man, apparently a person of some stature in the mid-east, is a total psychopath with a view of reality that has no resemblance to anything true. If he doesn't actually believe what he's saying, it's even worse, for then he must have grounds for thinking that there is a significant audience out there that DOES think this alternative version of reality is true.

In either event, there's no rationality, and certainly no basis for any sort of meaningful compromises.

The worst thing that the Party of the Second Part can come to believe about an election is that the Party of the First Part won because it cheated. This is true even when the winner did cheat, and even...
