Genius?

I'm sure that this result was only because I link to people like Victor Hanson and Mark Steyn, but I'd like to think it picked up my quote:

"Jeremy Clarkson is a pompous jerk"

Bias? What Bias?

I was looking at CNN this morning and I saw this article from WSDU-TV in New Orleans:

HOUMA, La. -- A state representative in a runoff election infuriated civil rights leaders after she ended a conversation with the mother of the NAACP's local president by saying, "Talk to you later, Buckwheat."
State Rep. Carla Blanchard Dartez, of Morgan City, acknowledged she made the remark during a Thursday night telephone conversation with Hazel Boykin to thank her for driving voters to the polls.
Buckwheat, a black child character in the "Little Rascals" comedies of the 1930s and '40s, is viewed as a racial stereotype demeaning to black people.


Hmmm..... I'm trying to tell if good ole Carla is a Republican or Democrat. Since they aren't saying, I'll assume she's the latter. Ah wait! A clue! When we get to the bottom of the article we see this:

But the "Buckwheat" remark is the latest bit of trouble for Dartez and her husband, Lenny, who is a member of the Democratic Party's State Central Committee.

Aha! We now know that that her husband is a member of the State Democratic Party Committee, but what about Carla? Are we to assume that she's a Democrat too? It could be one of those "mixed-marriages" that I've heard about.

Since it never says, we'll have to draw our own conclusions. I'll assume that she's a Democrat because if she were a Republican they would have stated that fact in the first sentence of the article and then repeatedly throughout.

This is exactly the kind of subtle bias prevalent in the MSM.

I read that 92% of Washington D.C. journalists voted for John Kerry and I wasn't the least bit surprised.

SCHIPS

Just a question,

Why can't the democrats trot out someone who is not actually eligible for public health assistance but deserve it? As opposed to already eligible, like the Frosts and the Wilkersons.

Is it because they can't find anyone that fits that category? I mean, if I wanted to expand an entitlement program, I would find someone that would be helped by that expansion!

Plenty on this issue over at Michelle Malkin's site.

The Nobel Prize for Science Fiction

I didn't even know it existed until now.

The Goracle has finally joined the ranks of the righteous, alongside:

1. Mangari Maathai (2004), who at a press conference announcing her award told reporters she believes AIDS is the product of a bio-engineering released as a weapon of mass destruction by Western scientists to punish blacks."

2. Shirin Ebadi (2003), who defends Irans nuclear program as economically justified."

3. Jimmy "The Dhimmi" Carter (2002), an anti-Semite and co-creator of the modern Islamic Republic of Iran.

4. EX UN GenSec Kofi Annan (2001), who oversaw the UN Oil-for-Food scam keeping Saddam Hussein in power, enriching dozens of UN officials, journalists and politicians around the world, and contributing to the Iraq war.

5. Yasser Arafat (1994) bus bomber, terrorist, anti-Semite, possibly poisoned by other PLO leaders because he stood in the way of lucrative deals with Israel.

6. Mohammed Al-Baradi, head of the IAEA under who's watch Iran, North Korea, Syria et. al.? have proliferated weapons and/or pursued their nuclear dreams.

I have to go be sick now.......

Why They Hate the Neocons

Roger L. Simon has a post up at Pajamas Media about Neocons. Those of us who have been derisively lumped together with that moniker (justified or not) might find this interesting:

Victor Hanson in Iraq

I highly recommend that you read everything you can find by Victor Davis Hanson. He is as articulate in print as he is erudite. He has just been in Iraq and writing about it in his blog in three parts. This guy is really something special and his essays are always illuminating.

Read this series of eye-opening dispatches:

Part 1

Part 2
