Check out the fauxtography of Ronald Reagan on the March 26, 2007 cover of Time.
At best, this is a tasteless homage to the glycerine tear rolling down the face of the “Indian” in the “Keep America Beautiful” commercials of the 1970s.
Well I’ve got news for you people at Time: nobody makes Ronald Reagan cry on my watch … nobody.
Via Ace, the democrats have “a secret plan” to whip the budget into shape by 2012.
You don’t have to be a Mesoamerican scholar to figure out what’s going on here. According to doomsday cultists and the History Channel:
There are prophecies and oracles from around the world that all seem to point to December 21, 2012 as doomsday. The ancient Mayan Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching all point to this specific date as the end of civilization.
That’s right, the left is counting on the end of days to get them off the hook.
Not if the vast right wing conspiracy has anything to say about it. Muahaha!
The Digg mob was at it again.
Over 1,400 Diggs (and counting) for a 2002 ACLU piece on the Patriot Act and domestic terrorism. Time warp, anyone?
Not only did most Diggbats neglect to notice the 2002 date, but some are so out of touch that they appear to believe that the Patriot Act itself is a new development. They also fail to understand the language of the Act, making the grossly inaccurate assumption that it could easily be used to label a peaceful protester as a domestic terrorist.
Boing Boing also got in on the action, pointing out that under the “new” law, “‘Terrorism’ is now officially meaningless: as far as the PATRIOT Act is concerned, if you do anything the government doesn’t like, you’re a terrorist.”
The Digg commenting frenzy included too many choice quotes to mention, but I can’t resist reprinting a few. Here’s some “expert analysis” of Section 802 of the Patriot Act:
Wow. Our politicians are terrorists by their own definitions.
Well there you go the only terrorist i know of is are own government.
I’m no lawyer but kinda sounds like protesting = terrorism.
With the language in that bill just tripping and bumping into a cop while holding a protest sign is good for a life sentence.
Most of the 200+ comments exhibit the same sort of flawed logic and disturbing lack of reading comprehension. It’s no wonder Little Green Footballs, Hot Air, and The Jawa Report get their stories buried – too much accuracy.
Looks like piggy banks aren’t kosher anymore in German financial institutions. The Muslim objection to piggy banks (h/t LGF) isn’t the only instance of German law and culture becoming more and more Islamicized. A few examples:
Shari’a law is gradually becoming the law of the land in Germany, and even cultural practices not addressed by Islamic doctrine (but that might offend Muslims) are on the cusp of elimination. How long until German Jews are asked to make their mezuzot less conspicuous?
As some of you may know, Rob won’t be showing his mug around here too much for the next two weeks while he gets some of those final pesky grad school requirements out of the way. What this means is you’re stuck with me as I try valiantly to keep Red Alerts from dying on the vine during Rob’s absence. It also means that posting volume will be lighter than usual.
Oh, and by the way, all you Ed Brown supporters might as well save your frivolous tax protest arguments for Rob’s return, ’cause you’re not likely to get a response during the next couple of weeks.
