Professor Schaff below gives a very serious reason why Chad's Chicken Hawk argument is dreadful. It is, among, other things, a classical fallacy, referred to as an ad hominem argument. In that form, you argue that X must be wrong...How to Resolve Iran Nuke Problem
Unbalanced PostingDon't worry, we'll take care of Iran nukes: Israel
Radio talker Michael Savage on his SAVAGE NATION program reported on Israeli willingness to take out Iran's nukes if the US fails to get the Eurabian - UN axis to do anything more than a bit of jawboning.
After hearing this, the Chief has been looking for some sort of reportage on this topic but without success until this coverage from the India Express website popped up linked on World Net Daily. The story is datelined out of Washington, so one might note the US MSM looking the other way again.
It's not as though the prospects of a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities wouldn't be significant. One has to wonder why the lack of coverage on this one.
As far as the actual issue is concerned, the Chief sees chances for some real action out of the Euroweenies or the UN as being slim to none. If Israel is willing to do the heavy lifting on this one, the US would be well advised to give them a wink and a nod, and stay out of the way.
Some folks seem to have enjoyed this post from yesterday, so I might do more of that sort of thing in the future. Many thanks to Todd Epp for what he had to say about it. (And I'll also take...Sci-Fi Flick Worthy of Attention and Support
When You Fail In Philly, You're Going to Fail EverywhereGain SERENITY with new film.
This is one that the Chief has a BAD hankering to go see soonest. Although I have been a long-time Sci-fi afficianado, a lot of the stuff coming out seems to be long on effects, and somewhat short on substance. The I, Robot film for example, took a concept from Isaac Asimov, and proceded to totally warp it beyond recognition.
Serenity, is a movie sequel to the 11-episode TV series Firefly, which has become an instant cult classic of libertarian science fiction.
Take my love. Take my land.
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don?t care, I?m still free.
You can?t take the sky from me.
Take me out, to the black.
Tell ?em I ain?t comin? back.
Burn the land and boil the sea.
You can?t take the sky from me.

"That's what governments are for, [to] get in a man's way."~ Mal Reynolds, Captain of Firefly-Class Boat Serenity
Hey, with an attitude like that, it's GOT to be great. Whether or not you're a sci-fi fan, go see it. This sort of content needs to be supported in the media market-place if we don't intend to give it all up to the Oliver Stones, Michael Moores, and Brabra Streisands of the world.
GO SEE SERENITY!
Air America is out in Philadelphia, America's sixth largest market by population. Philly is also one of America's most liberal markets to boot. If you can't make it there, you can't make it anywhere. And Katherine Lanpher, the woman paid...More on stuck on stupid
From David Limbaugh: I believe Gen. Russel Honore's classic admonition to reporters, Don't get stuck on stupid, was one of the best lines so far of the new millennium. Part of its enduring value is its uncanny applicability to politics...
