Heh.

Aesop might have something to say on this. . .

Sen. Levin wants the U.S. to unite with Russia against Iran. You know, the Russia which has critical trade ties to Iran and supplies them with all of their nuclear energy components?
In other news, the chicken wants to unite with the bear against the wolf. That should go well.

Obama poll numbers still trending south

Zogby’s latest numbers on Obama are pretty stark — 50-50% approve/disapprove. It’s usually best to take Zogby polls with an entire salt lick, but he usually gets the general trendline correct. Though I doubt half of America has truly broken free of Obama’s mesmerizing BS, I do think he’s losing [...]

Illegal immigration and U.S. unemployment

The Center for Immigration Studies has a report on “Unemployment for Immigrants and the US-Born: Picture Bleak for Less-Educated Black & Hispanic Americans.” It’s no secret that unrestricted immigration has the most pernicious impact on the working class. The upper and upper-middle classes generally benefit — their corporations find cheap, pliable [...]

70th Anniversary of Carpatho-Ukraine

President Yushchenko was in Chust the other day, observing the 70th anniversary of the founding of Carpatho-Ukraine. This was a short-lived federation created in the Carpathian Mountains on the eve of World War II.

Mike Gallagher — Gaping Primate?

I made the mistake of listening to Mike Gallagher today on my drive home from the college. While I’m a fan of many talk radio hosts, Mike isn’t one of them. To me, he embodies all the worst (and false) stereotypes about conservatives – he’s pushy, ill-informed, and makes his ratings from manufactured [...]

Tea Party movement continues to steep. . .

Michelle Malkin has good coverage of Saturday’s tea parties. The movement is continuing to gain steam, so to speak. Unsurprisingly, the general media blackout continues. Eventually though, things will grow to a point where we can no longer be ignored.
3,000 protesters gathered in Orlando, and Lexington, KY had 1,200-1,500. [...]

Blogosphere-y Goodness

Here are a few shiny objects that caught my eye this weekend:
Gateway Pundit: Thanks Barack… Dollar Sees Worst Drop In Value in 25 Years
Shots on the House: Steele is Becoming an Embarrassment. ME: I agree, but want to give him more time. Especially since the RNC outraised the DNC last quarter.
Twitter blogging [...]
