Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has a tony boutique in San Francisco. The SF Chronicle's Leah Garchick noticed something big in the store's window--a literal sign of Bush Derangement Syndrome: The newish Marc by Marc Jacobs store has three big glass window panels facing Fillmore Street at the corner of Sacramento. The latest window display went up about a week ago: Three-dimensional letters, 7 or 8 feet tall and spray-painted blue, spelling out one word in each window: "Worst President Ever!'' The windows were ordered up by the visual department of Jacobs' New York office, which tells me they were specified...

NBC: STAGING THE NEWS AGAIN? By Michelle Malkin   ·   April 04, 2006 08:25 AM A source who monitors political e-mail lists sent me an intriguing message disseminated last week, which involved an apparent Dateline NBC solicitation to Muslim groups. Check this out: Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 13:05:54 -0800 (PST) From: Subject: Looking for Muslim Males to participate in NBC Dateline Segment [Forwarded] Salam, I hope everyone is doing well. I have been talking with a producer of the NBC Dateline show and he is in the process of filming a piece on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination in the USA....

Here's a follow-up on the fight to honor Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington of "Black Sheep Squadron" fame at the University of Washington. Renee Fricke, Director of the Annual Giving Programs at the University of Washington Foundation, e-mails: Michelle, You might be interested to know that we've set up the Lt. Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington Memorial Scholarship Fund through the University of Washington Foundation and have provided a link on the UW Foundation website for folks who want to support this effort. We've gotten a number of e-mails expressing an interest in supporting this fund. This fund will provide scholarships to...

I couldn't sleep at all last night, so I toyed around with Windows Movie Maker and put together a little, 2-minute photo/video montage about the Muhammad cartoons. It's called "First, They Came"--and I hope it will speak to many around the world in a universal way.

On the Bush Protesting Mom Calls for 'Israel Out of Palestine' thread, earlier, fellow FReeper RGSpinach provided links detailing how Cindy Sheehan's refusal to pay her income taxes pre-dates the honorable passing of Casey Sheehan in the service of his country by a considerable margin. Solano Records Online More Solano Records Online I've alerted Michelle malkin to the existence of this information, and she's very interested in running with it. Unfortunately, however: Michelle can't seem to open these documents from the links provided, and neither can I. Can some technologically cyber-savvy fellow FReeper please, please help in getting this info...

Young America’s Foundation Conference -Illegal immigration is putting our national security at risk, according to nationally syndicated columnist and author Michelle Malkin, who spoke last week at a Young America’s Foundation conference in Washington, D.C. Malkin said the U.S. was nowhere near where it should be in addressing the issue, especially with regard to the war on terrorism. “There are upwards of 10 million illegal aliens in the United States,” Malkin said, “400,000 of who have already been ordered deported, but are on the loose in the U.S., after having been released by the federal immigration authorities.” The Department of...

From the Comments by David Schraub Cross-posted to The Debate Link. Though I'm not Kos, I thought it would be fun to play him for a post. So as they say over there: Elevated from the comments of this post by David (yeah, yeah, I know. They elevate "diaries." Sue me). I just did an informal survey, among some friends of mine (all attorneys ranging from moderate progressive to slightly conservative to libertarian/objectivist). All work here in Colorado, drink beers with me occasionally. I asked each (separately): "Say, do you know and/or like Michelle Malkin?" Most didn't know her. 9...

Barron's has an important lead article out today on "the underground economy" (password required). According to Robert Justich, a senior managing director at Bear Stearns Asset Management in New York, current estimates of the illegal alien population (most news articles cite the old 8 to 13 million figure) are too low. He puts the figure at 18 million to 20 million. The article's author, Jim McTague, notes some devastating consequences of the failure to enforce our immigration laws--and he does so with a bluntness that is unusual for the usually open-borders-friendly business press: [T]he underground economy is undermining the effectiveness...

CLINTONS REWRITING HISTORY...AGAIN By Michelle Malkin   ·   November 30, 2004 04:24 PM  City attempts white out during Clinton festivities From the AP: LITTLE ROCK - Seeking to distance itself from a checkered racial past, Little Rock erased "Confederate Blvd." from interstate highway signs just weeks before dignitaries arrived for the opening of Bill Clinton's presidential library. The Confederate Boulevard signs had been the first landmarks many saw after landing at the city's airport. And while the boulevard still runs north from Interstate 440, signs for Exit 1 now tout a southbound stretch of the same road named "Springer Blvd.,"...

The year 2004 was a good one for terrorists, violent gang members, law-breakers and fraud artists seeking safe haven in America. Let's reminisce: The rise of MS-13. The savage El Salvador-based gang, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), has now penetrated more than a dozen states. In May, a Fairfax, Va., teenager had his fingers chopped off in an MS-13 machete attack. In November, Washington, D.C.-area police received warning that MS-13 is plotting to ambush and kill them when they respond to service calls. Active in alien, drug and weapons smuggling, MS-13 members in America have been tied to numerous killings, robberies, carjackings,...

Norfolk's Virginian-Pilot is dropping columnist Michelle Malkin because, according to the paper's editorial board, she's an "Asian Ann Coulter" whose columns are too "anti-liberal" and "seemingly mean-spirited." Responding to a reader's complaint about the conservative scribe, the paper's public editor, Marvin Lake, announced on Monday that "she's outta here." In quotes covered by Editor & Publisher, Lake explained that the Virginian-Pilot's editorial board had concluded that Malkin was "too stridently anti-liberal" and that readers objected to her "seemingly mean-spirited rantings and suggested that she be dropped." Malkin's meticulously researched columns have covered a variety of topics, including exposing Sen. Robert...

Friday, August 27, 2004 Swiftboat veterans expose something new Posted: August 27, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern By Kevin McCullough © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Something struck me today that jolted my thinking on the whole swiftboat veterans issue. As I was reading the reports of John Kerry sending campaign staff to Crawford to ask President Bush to denounce the swiftboat ads, something just smacked me in the face. Over most of the campaign year, John Kerry has not faced much adversity. From the media preordaining him as "the" candidate earlier in the year, to his sudden and swift winning of the nomination, to his...

NEW YORK - According to intelligence that has been retrieved from the computer laptop and files of Muhammed Khan of Pakistan, Al Qaeda plans to attack before the November 2 elections but new details are just now surfacing as to what the plan really looks like. The plans call for a major assassination of a high profile political figure, which most likely will be triggered by another public statement from Osama bin Laden, and that will lead to the all out attack against the U.S. homeland. It is possible that the political assassination could occur in Saudi Arabia or Yemen...

NEW YORK - It appears as though yet another foreign leader, (just one of several who Kerry refused to name), has chosen to endorse his candidacy. The Red Communists of China, and their official news outlet, the state run "People's Daily" formally endorsed the Democrat from Massachusetts for the race of President of the United States. The communist newspaper said in its endorsement, "(Sen. Kerry)...looks squarely at China's position and influence in Asia and the world at large, and he opposes the containment of China and stands for contacts with the country."

NEW YORK - The economy has set yet another benchmark in the recovery under the present administration. U. S. manufacturing has expanded for a record 14th straight month and a new report says hiring in the factory sector is still on the increase. The Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity rose from 61.1 the month previous to 62.0 in July. (Any number above 50 demonstrates growth.) The index has stayed above 60 for another record - nine months. The employment sector of the index showed growth as well as the rating came in at 57.3...

Declaring that "America needs continuity in such tough and challenging times," St. Paul Minnesota Mayor Randy Kelly has joined the swelling ranks of elected Democrat officials and is backing Republican President George W. Bush for re-election. "The President and I do not agree on a lot of issues, but in turbulent times what the American people need more than anything is continuity of government even with some imperfect policies," said Mayor Kelly. Kelly follows the lead of former two term governor from the state of Georgia, United States Senator Zell Miller. Miller appeared on "Meet The Press" on Sunday declaring...

CAPTION CONTEST FOR THE STUPID CORNY KERRY SALUTE!

NEW YORK - Thousands gathered at New York City hall park yesterday to renew their marriage vows and make a pro-active and positive statement that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman. The effort brought together the largest coalition of churches in New York ever in support of a single matter. The Church of God In Christ, a predominantly black denomination, CONLICO - the largest coalition of hispanic churches in NYC, and the City Covenant Coaliton all combined forces and efforts to get out the message - marriage is sacred, and God designed it as a...
