In ref. to The Drudge Report revealing for all the world to know, that Prince Harry was serving in a combat role in Afghanistan.

After reading this post via this post I have to agree that it was not good for Drudge to have used his great reach to expose such a secret.

It would be one thing for Drudge to have done this if the Prince were in a rehab center, but he was serving in combat. Not only did this put the Prince in danger but all of the troops he was serving with.

So maybe next time, Drudge could be a little more considerate.

I have always been a big fan of Musharraf. I always thought he was doing a job of protecting a country that needed him in a time of great challenges for his country. Sadly it put him in a position that allowed others to paint him as a dictator.

Captain Ed has a good take on it as usual; Musharraf Wins By Losing, Islamists Just Lose Big

This was kind of cool to hear today: Fidel Castro retires

It is nice to see the bastard go. Some even think he’s been dead for time. I am just happy the Bush outlasted the S.O.B. in office.

Babalu Blog has all the fascinating facts about Fidel’s rein of terror.

I found this photo mixed in with a bunch of photos on Yahoo about dinosaurs and other fossils. I guess the reason it was there was because of the caption.

In this file photo Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad waves as he leaves the presidential palace in La Paz September 27, 2007. Ahmadinejad is visiting Bolivia to tighten diplomatic ties and sign energy and industrial aid agreements. Ahmadinejad said on Saturday he believed the market price of fossil energy, which includes oil, was still below its ‘real price’, Iranian media reported. (David Mercado/Reuters)

I think it more appropriate that he showed up because he and his Muslim extremists are fossils in the living world of today.

It is amazing to me and I assume a few others how ridiculous this whole mess over the naming of a teddy bear after what’s his name, causing such a fervor. We have Sudanese radical Muslims rioting in the street calling for this teacher to be executed.

I have read the condimnations from Muslim clerics, officials or whatever but I have to say I take it with a grian of salt. I just can’t take them seriously. I think most of it comes from them being expected to say something. I will be more impressed with actions. I have been burned time and again with CIAR consistently denouncing most crap from these radicals with exceptions and a big ol’ “BUT” in the middle.

Until supposed peace living Muslims separate themselves from the crazies, I am just not going to buy it. I have seen too much evidence of Muslims saying one thing to appease non Muslims and turn around and tell another story to Muslims.

Well I have always liked the guy and defended him for his actions to this point and still do. He has to contend with a lot a crazies in his country and if he feels that this was the best thing to do to keep his country from sliding off into the abyss. Then may God be with him and his nuclear arsenal.

Algore today defrauded the Nobel Peace Prize Filks into giving him the award. This is hardly a surprise in that they have given it to less recipients in the past.

ScrappleFace has the full story. Giving it the seriousness it deserves.

Although former Vice President Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize this week for his work as a global-warming performance artist, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early today that President George Bush would receive the gold medal, the diploma and the $750,000.

Here is a take on it from Nobelprize.org that sounds more like a joke.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.

Bizzaro-world indeed.

UPDATE: Damian Thompson of the Telegraph asks:  What has Al Gore done for world peace?

So Al Gore is the joint winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Admittedly, he has to share it with the United Nations’ climate change panel - but, even so, I think we need to declare an international smugness alert.

The former US Vice-President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet. Can you imagine what he’ll be like now that the Norwegian Nobel committee has given him the prize?

Frank J. suggests a name change more appropriate of the award.

The Front Page of Fox News say it all.

Gay Patriot has a great post with many other links on the issue.

Maybe he is looking for a new home in a socialist paradise or looking for a few million to do a film like Danny Glover received, I don’t know. What I do know, is that he is certainly not helping the oppressed people of Venezuela by giving credence to the dictator for life.

Actor Kevin Spacey meets with Chavez

Venezuela - Actor Kevin Spacey met privately Monday with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, one of Washington’s most outspoken critics in Latin America.

Neither Spacey — who has won Academy Awards for roles in “The Usual Suspects” and “American Beauty” — nor Chavez spoke to the press after the nearly three-hour encounter in the presidential palace in Caracas. They shook hands warmly on the red carpet as Spacey left after a dinner with Chavez.

Hours earlier, the actor visited a $13 million film studio founded last year by the government to support Venezuelan filmmaking. Details were not released about the rest of Spacey’s itinerary.

Well with all of the words that came out of Bollinger’s mouth in reference to his invited guest Ahmadinejad, I think were a saving face act to the blunder that was the invitation. I was also think it was an act to keep from having a whole crap load of money held back from the state legislature and alumni.

I don’t buy it for a minute.

Ahmadinejad spun his propaganda and nothing of it was reported back in his home country by his state controlled media. Where the people are oppressed by this very tyrant.

Why don’t you and your fellow countrymen concern yourselves with providing your people with good jobs so they don’t have to illegally cross our sovereign border and mooch off our social welfare and be an all around drain.

George Bush the Texan is ’scared of horses’

President Bush may like to be seen as a swaggering tough guy with a penchant for manly outdoor pursuits, but in a new book one of his closest allies has said he is afraid of horses.
 
Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico, derided his political friend as a “windshield cowboy” – a cowboy who prefers to drive – and “the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life”.

Sounds to me that an x-president might be a bit green with envy. How childish and foolish or maybe just the best he could come up with.

AQ targets Americans in Germany and seem to have come very close to pulling it off, but were stopped yet again.

Now I guess they will get their day in court, be convicted (or stand a good chance of being freed) and live out the rest of their lives on the dime of the taxpayers. Shame they couldn’t have been taken out in a gun fight in Iraq.

I have been forced to change my listening habits because of the lack of bandwidth at work. In  a way this had been good, in that I have been left with few options after Rush Limbaugh. That is where Dennis Miller on the Radio has filled the void and I have been very pleased.

Dennis had on today, John Bolton. I am a big fan. One of the points he made was that the recent deal that the State Department made with Kim Jong Il is that it won’t last. It is probably much like the last deal he made with the Clintons and at the end of the day, this will all just give Kim more time to do what he is going to do anyway.

The United States State Department of Suckers are more interested in making the deal, not so much the deal and not really into following through on the deals they make.

They have obviously forgotten Ronald Reagan’s “Trust but verify”.

There have been plenty of rumors of the death of Castro and they have all been false rumors as far as we know. Hell, he really could be dead for all we know and it happened months ago. But one day, hopefully one day soon, this bastard will die for real or the communists in Cuba will finally be forced to admit to his death and maybe, hopefully the people of Cuba can finally have another chance at freedom.

Of course once that day finally comes, we will have to have everyone on alert for all of the liberals and communist sympathizers who will want to go out and kill themselves.

Even though it is Friday and that is just one reason that all of the party goers will be out this evening, this will be another good reason to celebrate. Well that is what Dave Barry has to say.

More info at Babalu Blog, with updates.

With all of Sean Penns Loving and Hugging of the soon to be “dictator for life”, Hugo Chavez, he should really be proud that his friend may soon be given the right to reign hell over the people of Venezuela until his death.

Maybe Sean could get his friend to appoint him Vice President/Dictator so he can join in on the fun.

From Fox News: Venezuela’s Chavez Seeking to Change Constitution to Allow Perpetual Re-Election

President Hugo Chavez was presenting his blueprint Wednesday for sweeping constitutional changes expected to allow him to be re-elected indefinitely.

Chavez, who is seeking to transform Venezuelan society along socialist lines, announced late Tuesday that he would unveil his project before crowds of supporters at the National Assembly. He predicted it would bring renewed political upheaval to Venezuela.

Chavez’s political allies firmly control the National Assembly, which is expected to approve the plan within several months. It then would have to be approved by citizens in a national referendum.

Oh, and Danny Glover could also expect to have the cash continue to flow for future film projects.

Birds of a Feather and all that.
