Your quote from Dr. Samuel Johnson is delicious. Thank you. He’s not often taught in American schools, either. mariana

A contemporary of Samuel Johnson’s once expressed himself to a hack scrivener: “Sir, I sit in the smallest room of my house with your review before me. In a moment, it will be behind me.”

As Howell Raines said to General Custer, “Where did all those Sitting Bulls come from?”

Poor Brit Cousins:

They’re getting cabin fever from hiding out at the airport in Basra while Iraqi and American Forces fight insurgents.

Now that our Brit “Beard” is no longer needed, we probably ought to pull the pin and send them home. WE must be PAYING for THEM too, somehow, and I don’t see that they’ve accomplished anything for us for the past couple of years.

It’s really sad, but America is alone and always will be. The “others”, even allies, just don’t get us. We’re too “uppity” for them and are not bound by the limitations and overt socialism that have bound them to their wheel of subservience to their State. They convince themselves, Old World style, that things “can’t be done..” and that’s it. When Americans are told something “can’t be done”, we say:
“Oh yeah, sez who?!” and then go out and do it. mariana

[...] over to a newly-redesigned Pajamas Media today, you’ll see that the threats of a strike were resolved weeks before the Guardian stories [...]

The left-wing media are clutching at straws in their desperation to report bad news from Iraq. Once it became apparent that the surge was working we had Beauchamp and Blackwater, then waterboarding and now this. Not to say that some of these stories haven’t raised legitimate issues, but they’ve been blown out of all proportion as the media in the US and UK tries to rally increasingly irrelevant opponents of the war. Every time I see one of these stories, I’m reassured that the situation in Iraq must be continuing to improve.

Nice work Bob.

Well, it looks like the Guardian has volunteered to be our vehicle of disinformation. I hope Mookie enjoys the suprises in store for him.

I always enjoy an Excitable Andy quote. Shows how much he has drunk the liberal kool aid.
