Nike's Racist Shoes

Yeah, but will they finally stop marketing the extra-large athletic supporters to white guys? Market Watch:

Nike unveiled Tuesday what it said is the first shoe designed specifically for American Indians, an effort aiming at promoting physical fitness in a population with high obesity rates....It will be distributed solely to American Indians...Nike said it is the first time it has designed a shoe for a specific race or ethnicity...
It would kind of be nice if I could get my feet in to a pair of these. I have a pretty big foot. But I guess I'm not the right race, so I'm out of luck.

Hat tip: Bill Dauterieve who quips "different bones".

Clinton Admin Member Tied to Hsu Scandal

Former Clinton Administration member and current dean at The New School, Fred Hochberg, tied to Hsu scandal? Yes, he is.

I didn't think the scandal was all that big of a deal at first. But the smell has just gotten worse. It stinks. To high heaven.

Former Gay Porn Star on Larry Craig Toilet Sex + Gary Hart

I'm trying to avoid the Larry Craig story like a Tijuana toilet tramp. Speaking of Tijuana Toilet Tramp, here's former gay porn actor Matt Sanchez on Larry Craig:

For homosexuals, cruising is a sacred pastime right up there with re-runs of Will and Grace, circuit parties and lip-syncing drag queens. Public sex is supposed to be "hot," and I have some knowledge of this having co-starred in the high-end fantasy film Tijuana Toilet Tramps.
Well, I guess there's nothing like owning up to your past Matt. I've linked Matt's military embed videos, which he regularly posts on Liveleak, several times in the past without mentioning that he used to do gay porn. I knew about it, but somehow it didn't seem relevant.

In fact, the only reason I knew about his gay porn status was that the Lefty bloggers never fail to mention it. It wasn't "Matt Sanchez reporting from Afghanistan" it was always something like "cock loving former gay porn star Matt Sanchez is at it again from Afghanistan schilling for that homophobe Bushitler and the Amerikkkan Taliban. The hypocrisy!" You know, the consistently tolerant Left.

The rest of Matt's post is pretty good, go read it.

I'd leave it at that, but as long as we're talking about politicians involved in extramarital monkey business, here's Jules Crittenden on Larry Craig and Gary Hart:

You’ll remember that amid rumors of extra marital affairs in 1987, Democratic presidential candidate Hart dared reporters to follow him. They did, and caught him in DC with Donna Rice. He denied everything, said it was innocent. His wife came out and said the same thing. Shortly after that the “Monkey Business” photos emerged. It took a week.
Of course, the obvious analogy kind of breaks down when you consider that Donna Rice was a) a chick b) kinda hot.

De Palma's Vile Propaganda

I think this says it all about Brian De Palma's latest film on U.S. troop abuse of Iraqis:

"The pictures are what will stop the war. One only hopes that these images will get the public incensed enough to motivate their Congressmen to vote against this war," he said. [source]
In the film: U.S. soldiers doing bad things but who are later arrested and prosecuted for their crimes.

Not in De Palma's film: Our Islamists enemies beheading civilians and the celebrating their murders as the will of God.

Our side condemns and prosecutes the same actions our enemies celebrate, and yet Leftists like De Palma equivocate between the two and are okay with our enemies winning?

UPDATE: It gets worse. Geoff notes that al Qaeda beheadings are in the film. But, who does De Palma blame? Us, of course! That's the context of the whole movie. The point of the movie. The war must end.

As if the U.S. withdrawing would somehow end al Qaeda beheadings. Sure, there would be no more deaths of American soldiers in Iraq at the hands of al Qaeda. But since the vast majority of people murdered by al Qaeda, Ansar al Sunna, the Islamic Army in Iraq, and other groups are Iraqis then the horrible killings won't stop. In fact, far more people will be murdered by the Salafi and Khomeinist Islamists than now.

To the Left and in this film, I'm sure:

When we do bad things: our fault
When our enemies do bad things: our fault

There's really no winning.

UPDATE: Confederate Yankee has similar reactions.

Porn Star Jenna Jameson, Heidi Fleiss Endorse Clinton

jenna_jameson.jpgLooks like Jenna Jameson isn't an Obama girl, she's a Clinton chick. I guess that explains all those girl/girl scenes.

Oh, and Clinton also picks up the crucial Hollywood whorehouse endorsement from Heidi Fleiss. WaTimes:

"I'm a big fan of Hillary's. Any woman who's smart, how can you not be?" Democrat Heidi Fleiss, 41, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal earlier this week. ....

And came while skinnier-by-the-moment porn star Jenna Jameson, who announced her retirement from adult films, recently set the public record straight that she is also solidly in the Clinton camp.

Like the old saying goes: whores love Hillary Clinton!

Daily Masochism: Kos's New American Center

According to Kos, his fans are the "new center of American politics". If the new American center believes, like Kos, that the murder of Americans by Islamist fanatics in Fallujah, and the desecration of their bodies is worthy of saying "I feel nothing....screw them", then maybe it's time for me to move.

My guess, though, is that Kos is wrong. That the vast majority of Americans don't support his radical anti-Americanism*. That their lack of support for the war in Iraq comes from a different place. Americans like to win. The day America stopped supporting the war was the day they became convinced that we were losing. It's really that simple. more...

Live Free or Die?

Looks like Tony Blankley wasn't from New Hampshire after all:

"It does you no good to be dead and theoretically free," said Mr. Blankley, who served in the Reagan White House and as Newt Gingrich's press secretary before becoming editorial page editor of The Washington Times.
I agree. I'd really love to read the rest if any one gets a transcript.

I've been arguing for years that rights are ordered and that the "right to life" is higher on the importance scale than, say, "freedom of speech". Which is why I've claimed over and over that if its okay to kill your enemy, then its certainly okay to censor him.

Oh, and before you go quoting Ben Franklin to me, make sure you have the quote right:

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Wonkette Jumps on Tillman Trutherism

Wonkette used to be reasonably funny. Yes, I laugh at jokes centered around sex in an uncomfortable place---and I don't mean the back seat of a VW. Is Tillman trutherism--the theory that Pat Tillman was murdered on orders from President Bush so that he wouldn't come home to meet Noam Chomsky and become the next great white hope of the anti-war movement, now that Saint Cindy Sheehan needs a replacement--contagious? Like an infectious disease?

I expect this stuff over at dKos, but not at Wonkette. I wonder what Anna Marie is thinking when she reads her old blog? It seems that with each day the crazy Left and the Democratic Left seem to be getting closer and closer together.

Wonkette: Who Ordered the Execution of NFL/Army Hero Pat Tillman? : Updated with link to Ace, rather than the Wonkster.

What's funny is that when you start checking the sources of the 'facts' that are thrown in with the facts--such as Tillman's plan to meet Chomsky, which are the basis of the conspiracy theory--they inevitably lead, in circular fashion, back to a conspiracy website.

Hat tip: Bad Candy via AllahP who's caught in a little conspiracy controversy of his own.

Did Scott Beauchamp Violate Op Sec Regulations?

And I quote:

It most certainly is an OPSEC violation.
Seems like a technicality to me. This was on his pre-fame blogspot page apparently. I imagine that if the military started cracking down on military men and women with facebook pages trying to communicate with their friends, family, and loved ones---and generally spout off-- that we'd soon have hundreds,if not thousands, of people brought up on UCMJ charges.

But, maybe that's just me and my chichenhawkishness talking. Any one want to correct me and tell my why this is a serious violation? I think the argument would be something along the lines of "loose ships sink ships". Private SNAFU comes to mind (video below). more...

How Not to Calm The Waters 101

In the wake of a bitterly divisive fight with the conservative base over immigration policy, and in the middle of a bitter struggle over Iraq, the Bush Administration is badly in need of some friends and support. It particularly needs to rally the traditional conservative base if it has any hope of salvaging its Iraq policy.

Given this state of affairs, the administration has apparently decided that gun owners have been unfairly excluded from "The Bush treatment" enjoyed by other conservative interest groups. In order to remedy this oversight, some genius has decided that this would be an excellent time to try to regulate retail gun stores out of existence.

Thus, the Bush Administration adds one more dumb politial move to its long list of dumb political moves...

What Did Ann Coulter Really Say?

The broadcast networks and other mainstream sources have deliberately misquoted conservative author Ann Coulter as wishing for John Edwards' to be killed by terrorists. Coulter was actually criticizing HBO propagandist Bill Maher for wishing that terrorists had killed Vice President Dick Cheney, a remark that was completely ignored by the MSM.

Video here.

Update: Maher may not have said exactly what Coulter claimed. more...

Gen. Pace and Atty. Gen. Gonzales : Same Situation?

Via the Politico;

"Yes, it's an interesting comment about Congress, isn't it, that, on the one hand, they say that a good general shouldn't be reconfirmed, and on the other hand, they say that my attorney general shouldn't stay... And I find it interesting. I guess it reflects the political atmosphere of Washington."
From what I've seen, it seems to be generally-agreed that Gen. Pace is, indeed, a solid officer with a solid track record, a man who has succeeded in life through his own brainpower and hard work.

It also seems to me to also be generally agreed that Alberto Gonzales is an embarassing idiot who's made it where he is mostly by the color of his skin and his close association with the Bush clan. We can all be thankful that a better minds prevented George Bush from pushing his preferred nominee into the Chief Justice slot. ("Chief Justice Alberto Gonzales"--I think that'd keep us all up at night.)

In a reconfirmation hearing, Pace would be made to answer for all the stupid mistakes the Commander-in-Chief has made in Afghanistan and Iraq over the last few years, whether he had any control over them or not.

In contrast, Gonzales is being made to answer almost exclusively for his own stupidity.

The idea that Bush would infer any equivalence whatsoever between these two very different men or these two very different situations just baffles me.
