So says Christopher Hitchens…
Has anyone in the Bush administration confided in you about being an atheist?
Well, I don’t talk that much to them�maybe people think I do. I know something which is known to few but is not a secret. Karl Rove is not a believer, and he doesn’t shout it from the rooftops, but [...]

But is it too late to stop the geyser of illegally copied content that flows out of the country?
Reuters has the story about a recent massive crackdown.

From the AP.

Wow, this is a weird. Gere kisses a famous Bollywood actress in India and Indian courts put out an arrest warrant.
I guess Hinduism needs to catch up too…

It’s amazing how little we hear about Afghanistan these days.
Now I find this tragic story about the mentally ill in the war torn country. Some are actually kept in chains. Devastating stuff.

The far left always hungers for a candidate they think will tell it like it is. Hell, we all do. Howard Dean was just such a character. He was pretty much the first to come out in early 2003 and denounce the war and our foreign policy stance post 9/11. And with the help of [...]

He said he did nothing wrong. Just got some massages.
So why did he resign again?
From The Blotter:
Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias submitted his resignation Friday, one day after confirming to ABC News that he had been a customer of a Washington, D.C. escort service whose owner has been charged by federal prosecutors with [...]

I really don’t like using the word “war” to describe our fight against global Islamic extremists, but that’s what we were given by our government, so I’m sticking to it for now.
But if a recent global survey suggests that terror attacks have gone up 29% from last year is to be trusted, and there’s no [...]

I didn’t really pay much attention because it’s so early.
However, here are some highlights from the AP.
(Note: Apparently the TheNewsRoom.com blocked our site from the previous video for no reason, so I switched sources. This video is from Reuters. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

George Tenet has a new book coming out, and one of the less shocking elements is that the administration didn’t really try to avoid war. In fact, they wanted it so badly they didn’t seem to have any serious discussion about whether or not Iraq was actually a threat to us.
From the NY Times:
WASHINGTON, April [...]

51 to 46.
Today’s vote completes work on the rarest of bills: legislation to try to end a major war as fighting still rages. Democrats hope to send the measure to the White House on Monday, almost exactly four years after President Bush declared an end to major combat in a speech aboard the USS Abraham [...]

Apparently, she won’t answer the questions in person, but she will in a letter?
Huh?
OSLO, Norway (AP) – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday she has already answered the questions she has been subpoenaed to answer before a congressional committee and suggested she is not inclined to comply with the order.
Rice said she would respond [...]

From an email conversation I had with SrA Michael Carpenter stationed at Nellis AFB right outside of Las Vegas, NV:
From what I’ve seen in the past 5 years, political views are as mixed in the military as they are in the civilian world. The main difference is the lack of extremes. No one can [...]

Let’s go down the list…
-The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted 21-10 to issue a subpoena to Rice to compel her testimony on the Bush administration’s pre-war claims about Saddam Hussein seeking weapons of mass destruction.
-Next door, the House Judiciary Committee voted 32-6 to grant immunity from prosecution to Monica Goodling, Gonzales’ White House [...]

Oh those crazy communists! You certainly can’t say they aren’t creative.
From the Reuters:
BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese tourism authorities are seeking investment to build a novel concept attraction — the world’s first “women’s town,” where men get punished for disobedience, an official said Thursday.
The 2.3-square-km Longshuihu village in the Shuangqiao district of Chongqing municipality, also known [...]

I’ve been noticing signs of the approaching Apocalypse lately.
Yesterday, for instance, CNN devoted an hour of prime-time programming to…. Larry King and Dr. Phil dissecting the Alec Baldwin voicemail brouhaha.
Today, though, the earth really shifted. I find myself agreeing — in substance, if not in tone — with the conservative whackjobs Little Green Footballs.
They [...]

It’s pretty remarkable actually. They rewrote a story from the AP wires to make it into a hit piece on the Dems…BUT they kept the author’s name on it!
Awesome.
More here.

Sweet mother of Malkin.

Now THAT was funny, but not for the reasons Malkin intended.
