You may not have seen it lately, but Boone Pickens -- one of the most famous and most successful oilmen in the history of the United States of America (if not the world) -- has a real energy plan with real numbers.  What I like about his approach is that he doesn't get caught down in the weeds of the environmentalist whacko movement and the AlGorista fascism, but he makes a clear argument that we can not afford to continue importing foreign oil at a $700 billion clip per year.

One of the silliest arguments of the facist left in this country is that there is absolutely no way religious freaks and fundamentalists like Al Qaeda would ever partner with a very secular (and equally facist) Saddam Hussein.

Only one problem with that argument:  it's patently false.

The estimable Michelle Malkin reports that the facist tyrants of the military junta in Myanmar are playing a horrific game with foreign aid:  they want cash, not supplies.

Like the junky panhandler, giving them cash will only continue their obnoxious and immoral behavior is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

If we are not going to send supplies, then I suggest we give them Tomahawks.  As in cruise missiles, targeted on their homes and offices.  Or fifty caliber sniper rounds from a Barrett rifle.

It's time to stop playing nice, and start playing hardball.  They are committing a horrific crime against humanity.  And they should be held accountable for such.

And now.

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.
