The Democrats have finally given up on trying to inflate Enron into a Republican scandal.
“I’m being very, very careful to say that it’s not another Whitewater,” said Rep. Henry Waxman, the Democrats’ lead investigator into what the White House knew of the debacle, when, and how Enron may have influenced the administration’s energy policy plans.
Of course, Mr. Waxman didn’t think that Whitewater was a Whitewater…
Afghan interim government forces have arrested Revolutionary Guards caught aiding their own Afghan allies who are attempting to subvert the new government.
Nope, no axis of Evil here…
Bush has now lost Mark Steyn over the IDIOTIC steel tariff decision.
Mark Steyn’s been down to Toys bin Us, and he has the latest on all the new culturally-correct Barbies.
I hadn’t commented on this previously, partly out of disgust, and partly because others had, but there’s a new twist on it.
The original story is that a woman hit a man with her car. He flew up on the hood and through the windshield, and was trapped there, bleeding. What did she do? She drove home with him impaled thusly, parked the car in her garage, telling no one, and left him there for two days to die from insanguination and his injuries (coming out occasionally to apologize, but not to offer any assistance whatsoever). After this, she and some associates disposed of the body.
Now, new facts come out, which were previously not reported (at least, I hadn’t seen them). She is of African American descent. He was…not.
She reportedly told friends, “I hit this white man.”
Now imagine if the skin hues were reversed. This wouldn’t be the last fact to be reported–it would be the first. And the NAACP mobs would have been out for blood, screaming in the streets and filling all available media bandwidth with cries for “hate-crime” legislation.
Now, I say this only to point out more evidence of media bias in favor of the race baiters–I don’t actually care what color either of them was.
But even without knowing the circumstances of the auto accident, I think that she should be charged not just with hit and run, not just with failure to provide aid and assistance. She should be charged with abduction, torture and murder, and she should be put away for a very long time.
The tiny town of Nederland, Colorado, is cashing in on the fact that they made Trygve Bauge’s life hell several years ago, when he tried to store his cryonically-suspended grandfather there and they made such acts illegal (though they literally “grandfathered” his particular case). They’ve decided to have a “frozen guy” festival.
I’m not sure how to react to this. At least they’re taking it in good humor now, and aren’t coming after cryonicists with torches and pitchforks. And as anyone who’s ever read the Cryonics mailing list knows, Trygve is kind of a loon.
But it makes light of a serious issue–when is a person really dead, and should the government be making it illegal to try to preserve the information that constitutes a person?
For those who think that the so-called conservative pundits aren’t coming down on Bush with both feet over his STUPID steel tariff decision, check out Tim Blair’s Fox News column today, or go listen to Rush Limbaugh, who is fuming.
