Year: 2005

A flaming liberal ringer “pastorette” forcibly takes control of a small Episcopal church in Connecticut.

A senior Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip draws strength to send young people to commit future attacks by looking at a photograph of his own dead son, he said. The boy’s lifeless face is pictured on his cell phone.

On this day back in ’69, US Senator Edward Kennedy’s car drove off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts killing his 28-year-old companion Mary Jo Kopechne. Kennedy fled the scene of the accident and received a suspended sentence of two months and one year’s probation.

Even today, Chappaquiddick remains a shady part of Teddy’s past that won’t go away.

Read and hear Teddy’s “explanation” of the events of that night.

Internet = Air

The United Nations has put together a task force to look into regulation of the Internet.

Convicted Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph was sentenced to life in prison without parole today. The judge rendered the sentence after Rudolph angrily denounced abortion and told the federal court “deadly force is needed to stop it.”

Note to Mr. Rudolph: Murder is murder, regardless of who performs it.

Burrito backup or heart attack? Learn from Beldar, and don’t confuse the two.

Paul Begala, TV pundit, Democrat political strategist and charter member of the Clintonistas, had this to say at the Campus Progress National Student Conference:

Republicans, he said, “want to kill us.

“I was driving past the Pentagon when that plane hit” on Sept. 11, 2001. “I had friends on that plane; this is deadly serious to me,” Begala said.

“They want to kill me and my children if they can. But if they just kill me and not my children, they want my children to be comforted — that while they didn’t protect me because they cut my taxes, my children won’t have to pay any money on the money they inherit,” Begala said. “That is bulls*** national defense, and we should say that.”

Begala also included Republican domestic policies in his sweeping criticism. The GOP, he said, “ain’t had a new idea since they opposed Social Security, and guess what, they still do. … They are beginning to figure out that there is no Soviet Union, but they still want Star Wars to stop it,” Begala said.

“Okay, they are utterly and completely brain-dead,” echoing comments earlier this year by Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, who accused Republicans of being “brain dead.”

This is like driving on the Interstate and slowing down to pass-by a massive car accident. You shouldn’t look, you shouldn’t stare, but you have to. The carnage is just too severe to ignore. 

Paul Begala has finally gone completely nutso. His thought process is so twisted that it comes out of his mouth as complete psycho-babble.

The Democrats are desperate.

Hitting the nail on the head.

“I don’t think Ted Kennedy lecturing me on the teachings of the church and how the church should handle these problems is something I’m going to take particularly seriously.”

Or is it?

The cult of Harry Potter.

The family of 18-year-old London bomber Hasib Mir Hussain say they are “devastated” by what has happened.

“We, the family of Hasib Mir Hussain, are devastated over the events of the past few days,” they said in Friday’s statement.

“We are having difficulty taking this in. Our thoughts are with all the bereaved families and we have to live ourselves with the loss of our son in these difficult circumstances.

We had no knowledge of his activities and, had we done we would have done everything in our power to stop him.

We urge anyone with information about these events, or leading up to them, to co-operate fully with the authorities. This is a difficult time and we ask you to let us grieve for our son in private.”

Maybe they should have been more aware their son’s friends, who he was seeing, what he was doing, and where he was going?
