“One of the best moments of the afternoon was when two men became so irritated by all of the red-shirted Communists wandering around, that they walked over and unfurled a huge American flag right in front of the spot where the same group of Communists who had told me not to photograph them had gathered. They rolled open the large flag and the invited passersby to stop and have their pictures taken in front of it… and many people did. The commies eventually moved further up the street.”

“Whenever we have a student who, for whatever reason, does not return home from a trip, we re obviously very concerned, but it is good to know that he s been in contact and that he s not been a victim of foul play. I think definitely there is concern until we know exactly where he is, said Setzer. Setzer says the State Department told the school district five other students from Habibi s program, also from Afghanistan, went missing in the last week. She says the State Department is investigating.”

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:00:19 -0600

“Why, then, are there more male bloggers than female? The answer is simple, and it’s feminism’s favorite catch phrase: choice. Men, in general, are more interested in politics than women are. Sure, women are interested, but I don’t think that there are as many women who are diehard political junkies like there are men. Go ahead, feminists, rip my skin off for stating That Which Must Never Be Said: that women do not have the same interests as men do.”

“While the world awaits Robert Mugabe’s departure from Zimbabwe, we have watched the start of another Zimbabwe in the making in South America. Chavez has followed Mugabe’s economic playbook, and he will find the same results: poverty, despair, and shortages in a land that should produce surpluses. Hopefully Venezuelans will draw the appropriate lessons from Mugabe’s regime and rid themselves of Chavez before complete economic collapse. Otherwise, they too will learn what 150,000% inflation means.”

“Actually, blogging is kind of therapeutic. Especially when you’re a red-state person living in a blue, blue state, and your neighbors would burn a peace symbol in your yard at midnight if they knew how you really felt about things. Some people do yoga; I pound the keyboard. The blood pressure goes down either way.”

“It comes down to the application of “zero tolerance”. While assaulting a female on the buttocks or the breast in middle school and high school may indeed have sexual motivations, it hardly applies to three- and four-year-olds. Some prepubescents may have sexual motivations for assaults, but they’re the exception and not the rule. However, thanks to gutless administrators and school boards, they treat every child exactly the same without consideration of context, intent, or circumstances — and in so doing, put labels on children that brand them as sex offenders throughout their educational career. Zero tolerance — zero brains. We pay administrators to use judgment and discretion, not to act as robots. If they can’t handle it, then they should leave and work in assembly lines or other vocations that don’t require mature analysis. Small wonder that more and more parents choose to home-school their children than leaving them to the knee-jerk mercy of modern public-school administrators.”

“This is smart politics, and it’s long overdue from Republicans. McCain may not win a lot of votes in Memphis as a result of this stop — I’d guess that he won’t win any at all — but at some point, the GOP has to pay some dues. McCain did that today, facing the feedback and eventually turning the boos into applause and a little bit of respect. Starting a dialogue isn’t easy and it doesn’t make for great sound bites, but it helps to lance a boil in politics that the Republicans have pretended doesn’t exist for too long. It’s a first step — and long overdue.”

“Mmhmm. All you smug idealists are laughing at this newbie/idjit. The consumer is not an idiot. She’s your wife. So stop laughing. 98% of the world will install IE8 and say, “It has bugs and I can’t see my sites.” They don’t give a flicking flick about your stupid religious enthusiasm for making web browsers which conform to some mythical, platonic “standard” that is not actually implemented anywhere. They don’t want to hear your stories about messy hacks. They want web browsers that work with actual web sites.”
