Ace of Spades HQ has a great post up about how stupid Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi really is.  It seems all that time spent at the Institute of Notre Dame in Baltimore was a complete and utter waste.

It seems that Lil' Nancy is SO UNWILLING to give credit to the members of the uniformed services of the US Military -- let alone their Commander-in-Chief -- that she believes that Iran deserves the credit for the turnaround in Iraq.

From the May 28th edition of the Financial Times, we learned that the Department of Homeland Security has finally gone completely batty:

The west needs a more comprehensive strategy to counter al-Qaeda propaganda and the US should stop using the term “war on terror”, according to a top intelligence official.

Charles Allen, the senior intelligence official at the Department of Homeland Security, says the phrase is counter-productive because it creates “animus” in Islamic countries.

“[It] has nothing to do with political correctness,” Mr Allen said in an interview. “It is interpreted in the Muslim world as a war on Islam and we don’t need this.”...

Foreign Policy magazine has a list of the worst places in the world to be a terrorist.  Missing from the list -- despite the protestations of John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama -- is Guantanamo Bay.

Sort of makes you wonder.

For a man with an Ivy League education, Barack Hussein Obama is the dumbest, most non-serious candidates for the President of the United States in my lifetime.  No, I take that back.  He is the dumbest, most non-serious candidate for President of the United States. (And let's keep in mind, that includes Pat Paulsen).

Let's examine the evidence.

A professor at Jordanian University thinks that suicide bombers should be armed with small nuclear bombs.

Jordanian University lecturer Ibrahim Alloush recommended on Al-Jazeera television this week that suicide bombers be equipped with small nuclear bombs.

I wonder if these are the types of people that Barack Obama insists on negotiating with directly?

Of course, the ACLU and the liberal lawyers are leading the way.

Just ask the victims of former Guantanamo detainee Abdullah Salih Al Ajmi.

The People's Republic of China -- that nation that holds a seat on the UN Security Council despite having killed over 40 million captives citizens during the cultural revolution -- needs to step up and do the right thing in Myanmar.  The military junta in Myanmar, every bit as cruel and repressive as Communist China under Mao, is causing a natural catastrophe to become a man-made human catastrophe because of their incredible capacity for evil, and China needs to step up now to stop or pay an extreme penalty.

I forgot to post this on Thursday:  Thursday, May 8, 2008 was the 60th Anniversary of the founding of Israel.  Of course, we didn't see much about this in our anti-Semitic drive-by-media, whose love and admiration for the camel-frakking terrorists like Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, et al. is well established.

Israel is a remarkable country of remarkable people.  The only liberal democracy in the Middle East, she is a staunch ally of the United States and a friend and defender of freedom for all her people -- including her Arab citizens.  In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that her Arab citizens enjoy greater freedom and liberty under and Israeli government than they would under ANY Arab regime.

Mona Charen has a good rejoinder to the lies -- spread by complete ass-clowns like the shameful Jimmah Carter -- about Israel.

The Canadian Human Rights Commission has to be one of the most worthless, servile, and stupid organizations -- down right facist -- ever to grace the Western World.

They have declared that there is no connection between food contamination and hand washing in a case to determine whether McDonald's had fulfilled its obligations to an employee who could no longer work in a restaurant because of the hand washing requirement.

Oh well. No restaurant food in Canada for me.

One of the silliest arguments that I hear travellers in leftist politics in this country make is that George W. Bush has squandered America's moral authority and destroyed our traditional allliances with our friends in Europe.  This alleged situation was brought to a head with Don Rumsfeld's salient -- if somewhat impolite -- comment about "Old Europe v New Europe".

But consider this:  "Old Europe" seems to be coming around.
