"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."
The Big Picture, 4/29/04.

    Dept. of Defense Stats: Good News about Iraq

    From the Dept. of Defense:

    Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in
    Iraq?

    Did you know that the Iraqi government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?

    Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under
    rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq?

    ...Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers?

    Read the whole thing.


    Japan Threatens U.N. Action on N. Korea:

    KYOTO, Japan—Japan threatened on Friday to put the issue of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program before the U.N. Security Council next month unless six-nation talks on the dispute show progress.

    Since none of the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council are supporting North Korea, there’s a possibility that the U.N. might actually do something useful. That would be very interesting.


    INTERESTING:

    Former Hollywood mogul Peter Paul is planning to produce a “Fahrenheit 9/11”-style documentary detailing his election fraud allegations against New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.


    ISN’T THIS GETTING OLD? Streisand compares GWB to a Nazi:

    The Democrat diva said that Goering’s tactics, as adapted by Bush, have been extremely effective, arguing that the American people have been “unable to recognize they are being manipulated when they are paralyzed by fear because their government is constantly reminding them of an impending terrorist attack.”

    Yes, why does that pesky government keep reminding us of irrelevant things like another possible 9-11?


    Photos for Cathy Seipp

    From Cathy’s World:

    If someone can get me an image of “West Wing” producer Laurence O’Donnell’s forehead veins popping as he screams at me on Dennis Miller this evening, I’d love to use it as an illustration tomorrow. I’d heard something about his reputation as a Boston Brahmin/faux populist asshole, but really, what an amazing meltdown this was, brought on by bascially nothing. I mean, I’m not exactly Swift Boat veteran John O’Neill, whom O’Donnell famously called “a filthy liar!!” on Scarborough Country before the election.

    I’m curious to see how it looks on TV. Sitting there on the Varsity, what I noticed was that O’Donnell actually puffed out his chest, stuck out his manly jaw and sat up extremely straight as he started yelling—I suppose so I could get the full effect of just how much taller he is than me. And how about that “I’m a Lumberjack, and I’m OK” outfit he had on? Maybe O’Donnell was on edge from Dennis looking at him just before the cameras rolled and remarking: “What, are you dating Rock Hudson now?”

    I’m happy to provide the requested photos, Cathy. Here they are.

    O’Donnell had said that every public school teacher he’d met had been great and Cathy said he was delusional. O’Donnell then railed rudely at her, in a loud angry voice, that every public school teacher he’d ever encountered in his entire life had been fantastic. Clearly he wanted to debate by volume rather than by persuasion.


    THIS IS GREAT NEWS: BLAIR HEADS FOR HISTORIC VICTORY.

    After all the reports of Blair’s lack of popularity in England over the past year or two; after all the attacks on him from British MSM over his actions in the Iraq war—this is very impressive endorsement of Democracy and of the ability of large groups of people to make the right decision.
