For voters sitting on the fence, John McCain’s appearance last Friday on Conan O’Brien is a worth a look.  Click here (or the pic below) to access the video, wait through the ad for whatever, then move the timer-slide thingy (yeah, I’m hi-tech!) to the 15:00 point and enjoy.  McCain comes across as funny, down-to-earth and worthy of the nation’s trust.

Never thought I’d say this, by the way, having expressed as recently as last fall the inclination to vote for . . . gasp . . . Barack Obama.

Barack Obama’s affiliation with and endorsement by radical Marxists — like Bernadine Dohrn and William Ayers — is well documented in this blog and elsewhere. But some may ask, “What’s the big deal? Why should Americans be concerned by Obama’s willingness to befriend such people and ‘exchange ideas’ with them?” In a word, “inhumanity”.

These are the kind of people who, like Dohrn, laugh with glee at the thought of slicing up a pregnant mother and then sticking a fork in her stomach. Running with this crowd is no different than running with Adolf Hitler or Fidel Castro. No truly decent American would do so. Yet Barack Obama has persistently, actively sought out their support and friendship. In fact, the neo-Marxist New Party — with whom the New Party itself suggests Obama signed a contract in 1995 — played a key role in Mr. Obama’s first Illinois state senate victory.

A CNN interview of three Americans — Keith Stansell, Marc Gonsalves and Thomas Howes — recently rescued after 5 1/2 years as captives to Colombia’s notorious Marxists, the FARC “rebels” — illustrates how little has changed inside the Marxist mind since Bernadine Dohrn cackled with with joy over the Manson murders: [Read more →]

Raila Odinga (pictured, right, with Barack Obama in 2006) has admitted signing a Memorandum of Agreement, on August 29, 2007, with Kenya’s National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) promising to share government power in exchange for Muslim support in Kenya’s violently contested 2007 presidential elections. Odinga is a cousin of Barack Obama for whom Obama campaigned in 2006.

On February 24, 2008, I reported that the agreement Odinga signed was this one, in public circulation as early as November 9, 2007, posted on the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya’s website :

Despite NAMLEF and Odinga claims (and Snopes and Truth or Fiction silliness) to the contrary, circumstantial evidence — detailed below — still suggests this may be the agreement that Odinga signed and that a later version, published on November 27, 2007, is a fake. (Notably, Barack Obama’s own “Fact Check” website does not mention the name Odinga. I’ll let readers interpret Obama’s Odinga omission.) [Read more →]

On April 16, 2008, George Stephanopolous pointedly asked Barack Obama to explain his relationship with William Ayers. Obama’s response (see video below) is more revealing than he intended. Most commentators missed this story because they have no training in the science of deception detection.*

A related video (further below - watch out for the f-word!) taken at University of Colorado, shows how little William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn (Obama friends and supporters) have changed since their Weather Underground days. They went to Colorado to defend Ward Churchill, then on the verge of being fired from the Uni. The videographer asks whether Ayers and Dohrn remember Churchill teaching them bomb making. You’d think it would be relatively easy to recall such an event, but they both say in essence, “I don’t recall”. [Read more →]

Can you say “cover-up”? Somebody’s lying in West Texas — in addition to the usual pathological CPS propaganda muppets.

Several weeks ago, I passed along a May 22, 2008 report from ABCNEWs quoting a “statement” by Texas Ranger Leslie Brooks Long. According to the statement, before Judge Walther signed the infamous fraudulent search warrant authorizing entry into the YFZ Ranch, a different Schleicher County judge “refused” to sign it. The ABCNews story remains on the website. Here’s the verbiage as of July 1, 2008, at about 5 pm EDT: [Read more →]

Congress had no call wasting time on baseball’s steroidgate no matter what else was going on in Washington. But true heroes — as some of us once thought Roger Clemens was — should tell the truth even when it hurts. This video clip of Roger Clemens reveals several markers of deception. I’m not saying these markers prove conclusively that Roger was lying, but do suggest it as a strong possibility. Check it out and see how many markers you can identify:

I’ll post my list of markers later in the week.

Henry Waxman and Nancy Pelosi are a national disgrace. If the Republicans can’t take back the House from the likes of these incompetent clowns, we are emphatically a nation in decline. In the video below, you’ll see Rep. Henry Waxman pick a fight with pitcher Roger Clemens and his attorneys over why Clemens didn’t invite Waxman’s goons to talk with Clemens’ former nanny before she talked with Clemens. Topping off the intense drama, Waxman — who clearly took considerable pains to set the trap for Clemens — pompously reads Clemens a scolding from a script. [Read more →]

Time for a bit of comic relief.

Call me jaded, but I’m having a hard time feeling the moment here (watch the vid) with Terrell Owens who was paid $8 million to play for Cowboys in 2007 and, win lose or draw, gets $7 million in 2008. Now that Dallas is out of the playoffs, he has some free time. Can it really be that hard for TO to smile? And what’s all the blubbering for Tony Romo who’s obviously focused more on his girl than his game?

Time out. I know I’m taking a bit of risk here with 0:06 left in the first half of the Sugar Bowl, but the risk is miniscule.

Can someone explain why advertisers — or anyone at all — would want two successive blow-out college bowl games on New Year’s Day? What marketing genius decided to pit USC vs. Illinois (in Pasadena, of all things) and Georgia vs. Hawaii (in the Sugar Bowl). These games were dogs (no offense, Uga) were utterly predictable. Why not Georgia vs. USC? So Hawaii was unbeaten, but who have they played worth mentioning? Why can’t the NCAA get it’s act together on this to produce decent bowl games?

Update: The Sugar Bowl turned out even worse than I thought.  It and the Rose Bowl were over before the end of the first half.  And then Mark Richt had the audacity to go for it on 4th down, up by something like 41-10.  Disgusting.
