Bonehead Hollywood

Can Someone Explain Something To Me?: "Like tens of millions of other people yesterday, i found myself standing in Wal Mart buying things that i think i actually need.
While looking across the DVD titles, i saw the latest release of Crimson Tide (1995). While this particular edition lays claim to be the Unrated Extended Edition it can also claim to have a giant bonehead mistake on the cover.
Beneath the images of Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman is a view of the starboard bow of the USS SILVERSIDES (SS-236)."
Aren't Hollywood types a bit different today than way back when......?

Manzanar redux? - Los Angeles Times: "ADVERTISEMENT



But after a decision by a federal judge in New York, I'm no longer confident that I can be so reassuring. Dismissing a case challenging the detention of Arab and Muslim foreign nationals in the weeks after 9/11, U.S. District Judge John Gleeson ruled that it is constitutionally permissible to round up foreign nationals on immigration charges based solely on their race, religion or country of origin. What's more, he said that they can be detained indefinitely, even after they have agreed to be removed to their home countries.

In essence, he authorized a repeat of the Japanese internment � as long as the internment is limited to foreign nationals charged with visa violations (a group that at last count numbered about 11 million people). "

The American Thinker: "He spent the first Thanksgiving after 9/11 in Afghanistan dining with the Taliban and concluding of this celebratory meal:
Our missing colleagues finally arrive, and I leave thinking that maybe this evening wasn't very different from the original Thanksgiving: people from two warring cultures sharing a meal together and realizing, briefly, that we're not so different after all."

Free speach for me but not for thee?

9/11 Commissioner Criticizes Coulter: "Rep. Rahm Emmanuel, D-Ill., said Thursday on the House floor that Coulter is a 'hatemonger' and called on Republicans to denounce her: 'I must ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Does Ann Coulter speak for you when she suggests poisoning not Supreme Court Justices or slanders the 9/11 ... widows? If not, speak now. Your silence allows her to be your spokesman.' "

Democrats call Zarqawi killing a stunt�-�Nation/Politics�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

Democrats call Zarqawi killing a stunt�-�Nation/Politics�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership, today said the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi in Iraq was a stunt to divert attention from an unpopular and hopeless war.
'This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer' for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. 'Iraq is still a mess -- get out.'
Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, Ohio Democrat, said Zarqawi was a small part of 'a growing anti-American insurgency' and that it's time to get out. "

There is a difference!

Between GOPers and Libs.
Even before I left for work this morning, I received 2 phone calls and 3 E-mails from friends joyously celebrating Al Zarquawi's death. FOX News anchors had a glow of giddy happiness about them. Callers into Bill Bennett's radio show were ebullient.
Man o man, what a way to start the day!

On the other hand were the Democrat channels, appearing as glum as if Bill Clinton had been caught lying on TV.
The anti-American channels, CNN and MSNBC had the murdered, Nick Berg's father on, denouncing Bush, the war and generally throwing dirty water on the wonderful news.
Most channels had "experts" warning us viewers not to expect "the violence" to end immediately. I know that no rightys would think that. Do these hate-America, TV-sound-bite spewers believe it? Why else would they warn us? The liberal media is so out of touch with the American public they don't realize how transparent they are. Bummer.... for them. No us! Ha!
I wonder how many Democrats called and E-mailed their friends to share the celebration this AM. Yeah, right.
Oh, and don't forget the Left "supports the troops", just not their mission. Like killing Al Z.

Well, it's a spectacular day for the rest of us Americans and the world!
Yeee Haaaa!

Supreme Court: 9-0 is better than 5-4 - Los Angeles Times: "Last week, when Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. delivered his first commencement address, at Georgetown University Law Center, he offered an original, substantive and unambiguous defense of narrow, minimalist rulings.

Roberts began by arguing in favor of unanimous or near-unanimous opinions, which, he said, serve the rule of law by ensuring that the court's message is not confused by its own internal divisions. He went on to suggest that such a consensus on the part of the justices would, almost by necessity, lead to narrow rulings, limited in most situations to the particular issue at hand. "

Nifty!
