Giving Them Hell

2 Comments

Netanyahu is addressing the General Assembly, and tearing them multiple new ones. And that comment yesterday from Obama about the 1967 borders was reprehensible.

[Update a few minutes later]

Jim Geraghty has some related thoughts about the UN:

… what would it take to see the United Nations as a source of moral authority? How many years of keeping noses clean at the organization would be required before people began to invest moral authority in the U.N. and its leaders?

I don’t know, but it hasn’t even attempted to start to do so. The UN is a disgrace.

Eat Steak!

Meet girls!

It’s true — U.S. government demand for art and art-like products has never been higher! Uncle Sam and the good folks at the National Endowment for the Arts are on the lookout for go-getting, obedient artists like you for a fast-paced career in state propaganda. With the quick and easy Federal Art Instruction Institute course, now you too can get a first class ticket on the federal art gravy train!

Anyone can do it. As long as they Obey!

Plus, a bonus ACORN ad.

Kill The State Department?

5 Comments

Some thoughts. I think that several departments and agencies should be razed, and be rebuilt from the ground up (if they need to be replaced at all). State is an essential department, but it does need a complete overhaul. Same thing with the CIA, which would be disbanded, and replaced with something else. Over course, the departments of Education and Labor should be simply eliminated.

The UN Loves Barack Obama

17 Comments

…because he is weak. Just the way they wish all US presidents were.

Of course, that’s only when dealing with our enemies. On the home front, it’s the Chicago Way.

Obama’s time warp — the US is still the bad guy.

[Late morning update]

Obama’s most naive speech ever? I don’t know, that’s a pretty high bar. But could be.

Nice Little AWACS You Have There

13 Comments

It would be a shame if anything happened to it.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force operated a single Simorgh, a former Iraqi Air Force Adnan. The Adnan AWACS was in turn a modification of a Soviet-built Ilyushin Il-76 transport.

The Simorgh collided with one of the Air Force’s Northrop F-5E Tiger II fighters over the area of the Imam Khomeyni Shrine, southern Tehran. According to eyewitnesses, the crash occurred immediately after the parade. Apparently, no mayday call was issued.

You say it was your only one? Too bad, so sad.
