Guess What – Enhanced Interrogations Work

It is a constant leftist refrain that the United States is torturing poor innocent muslims. Moreover, these same luminaries assert as an empirical fact that enhanced interrogations do not produce actionable intelligence. In this video former speech writer for The Great Liberator, Marc Thiessen, takes both these claims to task. First, Thiessen explains the difference between enhanced interrogation and torture. Next, Thiessen details how effective the enhanced techniques have been. All of this was done while Thiessen made CNN anchorette Christiane Amanpour and BDS sufferer Phillipe Sands look ridiculous (granted, that’s not such a difficult task).

Keith Overbite – Brilliant

In response to last nights magnificent news, Keith Olberman asked a question that was surely on everybody’s mind: where did all the bitter clingers in Massachusetts come from?

Whenever Democrats lose it’s because their opponents are racists. Scott Brown is so racist he used racist pickup truck!
Keith Overbite – like a rock, only dumber.
Guess what Democrats – people are just saying “NO!” to socialism and the Obama, Pelosi, Reid agenda.

TSA keeping us safe from 8-year old terrorists

Not only are national security efforts misguided in attempting to spend $100 billion on x-ray body scanners, but our tax dollars are also going towards enforcing the Transportation Security Authority’s no-fly list…which happens to include 8-year old Michael “Mikey” Hicks. Up until now I’ve generally used the hypothetical elderly air-traveler Gladys Phillips for the token unlikely terror suspect subjected to ridiculous security measures. Gladys enjoys playing bridge with her several cats and is a world-class knitting champion…and she has now died. Little Mikey Hicks is now my reference point for TSA security — get used to it!

It's uhhhhh, George W. Bush's Fault!

The Leni Riefenstahl of our day, Michael Moore, might want to add this story as an extra feature in the DVD release of Sicko. Last Friday 26 people in a Cuban mental hospital died of hypothermia when the temperature dropped to 38 degrees (+4 celsius).

Boy that vaunted Cuban healthcare system sure is great, isn’t it? There’s a reason everyone comes to the United States for medical treatment – it’s because despite it’s faults, the United States still has the best medical care available. The Cuban system is not worth a hill of beans – they cannot cope with a cold spell! But don’t worry, when looking for an explanation for why the government-run healthcare let nearly 30 people die from a cool breeze, the Cuban government blamed….. (drum roll) the United States. The Cuban kakistocracy claimed that shortages in medical supplies (like sweaters?) caused by the US trade embargo were responsible for the 26 deaths. A minor addendum to this story: the embargo does not prevent the sale of medicine or medical goods to Cuba.

Speaking of airport security…

…I feel ever so safe with an airline security guard wearing a Hijab.

Yes, that’s right. Yours truly, anti-jihad warrior, was ordered to hop to it (apparently, I wasn’t moving quickly enough for her taste) by a “security” official who displays her devotion to the sharia worldview for all to see; someone who, though she may not agree with Abdulmattalab’s exploding gotchies modus operandi is in synch with its religio-ideological underpinnings. Hijab gal is supposed to keep us infidels safe from the likes of BombPants.
