If a man wants to wear makeup, he can wear makeup. (see link for disgustingly disturbing and GRAPHIC images)

Yet another jaw-dropper for a president whose stock-in-trade is manufacturing a false image. Yesterday, after botching the first-pitch at the Washington Nationals' home-opener, the president was asked a simple question: Who, while growing up, was your favorite Chicago White Sock? Obama, who lived and worked in the Sox' South Side ‘hood, might have named a number of players-Bill Melton. Richie Allen. or Moe Drabowsky. Instead, he whiffed. Seems the White Sox fan can't name a White Sock (and refers to the well known former Chicago landmark Comiskey part as "Cominsky" park). This is typical of Obama, who when not lecturing,...

Here is audio of former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum on "The Steve Malzberg Show," where he said about President Obama, "This man is a narcissist." "Everything is about him. The bottom line is he has very thin skin. He's always been not able to take criticism very well. And so, it is not surprising to me that the most consistent points of criticism will get his attention and that he will behave in a way that I think is unpresidential." Santorum was also asked if he saw Obama throw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals game yesterday: "Oh...

WASHINGTON -- Opponents of Judge Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court suggested they would consider it a victory if more than half of the Senate's 40 Republicans voted against her in this week's confirmation hearing, as the GOP grapples with how aggressively to challenge the nominee. Many Republicans said they viewed 23 "no" votes as a benchmark, because that would be one more than Chief Justice John Roberts received in 2005 and would reflect a significant protest vote. Others said that if the Senate GOP were to split roughly in half, that would signal support to conservatives who oppose...

With popularity comes notoriety. That’s the lesson Ron Paul is learning as the nation observes Martin Luther King Day and the GOP presidential contender bears the burden of disparaging comments, made in a newsletter bearing his name, about the slain civil rights leader and the national holiday that honors him.

"...imagine that Ann Coulter is seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her?"...... Edwards, his right fist curled, feigned a punch and said: "No, there's absolutely nothing. Grow up." AUSTIN -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards feigned a punch Thursday when asked what he'd like to say to Ann Coulter, the conservative commentator who seemingly characterized his sexual orientation in remarks at a political confab last week. Edwards, appearing on Texas Monthly Talks, was asked by host Evan Smith to momentarily imagine that Coulter was seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her? Edwards, his right fist curled,...

BE HERE, OR BE NOWHERE!

It was the moment I should have twigged. It was the moment I should have realised that I had voted for the biggest British military fiasco since the Second World War. I was wandering around Baghdad, about 10 days after Iraq had been "liberated", and it seemed to me that the place was not entirely without hope. OK, so the gunfire popped round every corner like popcorn on a stove, and civil society had broken down so badly that the looters were taking the very copper from the electricity cables in the streets. But I was able to stroll without...

The major United Nations powers last night agreed to offer Iran a stark choice of benefits or sanctions in the latest international gambit to persuade Teheran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.The initiative followed the failure of talks between the foreign ministers of Russia, China, France, Britain, America and Germany to resolve the deadlock on how to confront Iran. The "carrot or stick" plan came as US officials conceded that their hopes of pushing through this week a UN resolution mandating Iran's suspension of its nuclear enrichment programme were over. "I think the prospects for an agreement this week are not...

ran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has once again caused a planetary stir with rhetoric that has been reported as calling for Israel to be precise, Mr. Ahmadinejad used the words Zionist regime to be wiped off the map at a youth seminar in Tehran. Ahmadinejad's pronouncement was both naive and unwise when measured in terms of international politics. However, it is something quite different than the credible threat it was portrayed to be in the international press. Moreover, the statement does nothing to increase any actual danger to Israel from Iran, despite the extreme reaction shown around the world. Americans, Israelis...

http://www.gobrinkman.com/ Senator Dewine's son is running against Tom Brinkman Jr. in the republican primary this June 14th. Need I say more? Tom Brinkman Jr. Is running in a special election June 14th in Ohio's 2nd district against Pat Dewine (Rino Senator Dewine's son). District two is a 'safe' republican district, Pat DeWine is a virulent liberal running as a republican, whereas Brinkman is a solid conservative. Lets send a message to Dewine that we don't approve of his actions in the senate regarding judicial comromises, and limp wristed liberalism at every turn. We have a rare opportunity to show Dewine...

No Name Calling Week?     1/12/2005By Warren Throckmorton, Ph.D.Yes, name-calling is wrong. But this event’s sponsors reveal the agenda behind banning it. “There is a special place in hell for people like you!” These words were directed at me by a teacher during this past summer’s National Education Association (NEA) convention in Washington, D.C. This delegate to the NEA convention made his prediction in response to my presence at the NEA’s Ex-Gay Educators’ Caucus booth in the convention exhibit hall. His cheery salutation caught me off-guard given the message of tolerance and acceptance I had been hearing around the exhibit hall....

There may be all of two people in America that believe John Kerry has a coherent strategy in Iraq. There are 25 million people in Iraq who know George Bush does. But when John Kerry begins to attack the leader of one of our infant allies you have to wonder if he may not change the minds of those who still support him. Yesterday in one of the strangest turns in foreign relations, Kerry went on the attack against the newly democratically chosen leader of Iraq - Iyad Allawi. And what was the reason for this scurrilous verbal drilling? Simply...

This is the dream. It involves a shiny cool small premium new car and a big happy beautiful dog sticking his head out the window and a longish solo road trip up the West Coast from San Francisco to the northern tip of Idaho in the middle of the summer. There is music playing. There is a huge sunroof open at all times. There is a small cooler full of ginger beer and spelt pretzels and Odwalla bars and organic turkey sandwiches. There is an in-dash CD multichanger loaded with dirtystupidfun '80s hard rock and badass electronica and Rufus Wainwright...
