Friday Free-For-All

TGIF!

We thought this week could not possibly be any crazier than last week, but we were wrong, huh, Mr Doren?

Fresh off the presses at PJ Media, Zombie takes a step back and looks at the big picture: Human Rights Imperialism: Leftist Satire or Moral Collapse?

The Guardian recently published a wicked satire of moral relativism, a Swiftian send-up entitled “End human rights imperialism now” with the classic sub-heading “Groups such as Human Rights Watch have lost their way by imposing western, ‘universal’ standards on developing countries.” Brilliant! Hahahahaha! I didn’t know the Guardian had branched out into humor.

But about five minutes after my laughter subsided, a horrible suspicion dawned on me: Could it be that the author was serious?

A quick re-read confirmed my fears. This was no joke. This was the modern left finally taking its last inevitable step into the abyss of moral oblivion.

Keep reading.

What’s this all about?

House Judiciary Voter Suppression Files Photographed by Tatler Source outside Rayburn Office B351 this morning

This box was found this morning sitting on a palette outside a room in the Rayburn House Office Building, the staff office for the Democratic staff office of the House Judiciary Committee . As you can see, the box is labeled “Voter Suppression Files.”  Now what exactly is in those boxes? The Tatler asks why in the world would Democrats want to suppress votes in any elections?

Check out the Augustine 25 Daily for all the latest links from around the blogosphere.

At The Washington Examiner, Bruce McQuain asks: Are we headed to an unrecoverable fighter jet gap?

“There has not been a single soldier or Marine who lost his life in combat due to a threat from the air in over 56 years.”

Let that statement sink in for a minute. The reason we’ve not lost a single soldier or Marine to enemy air is we’ve maintained such a dominant edge in both technology, ability and numbers that no enemy has been able to challenge our dominance of the air over any battlefield on which we’ve fought since Korea.

The military defines air superiority as “that degree of dominance in the air battle of one force over another which permits the conduct of operations by the former and its related land, sea, and air forces at a given time and place without prohibitive interference by the opposing force.”

But that dominance and superiority in the air are in serious jeopardy.  In our drive to cut budgets, we are about to cut capability instead of costs.  And that could result in a serious threat to the war fighting ability of our military and  eventually threaten our national security.  There is a developing fighter gap and if it continues as it is presently proceeding, it may be unrecoverable.

There’s goes Iowahawk making me lol, again: Dear Nazi The correspondence of Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN), America’s most dynamic metaphorist

Mr. Hector Gutierrez

Dear Mr. Gutierrez:

Nothing could have prepared me for the shock that awaited as I exited the front door of my home early Wednesday morning, where I discovered that your lawn crew had cut a swath of environmental destruction across my yard so horrifying that it only can be compared to the Rape of Nanking. I can scarcely bring myself to describe the killing fields that are my North azalea beds and the brutal degradation and torture suffered by the bluegrass around the locust tree by the rear patio.

No longer will I sit idly while you and your doorknob hangers continue to repeat the Big Lie of “satisfaction guaranteed.” I am writing to inform you that I have contacted the US Department of Interior to conduct a full independent investigation into Gutierrez Brothers’ actions in this matter. Please be advised that you may be subpoenaed for records pertaining to mower height, pruning shear maintenance, and leaf blower emissions.

I would also advise your crewmen to heed the lessons of the Judgement At Nurenburg: although they may be spared the justice due their superiors, “I was only following orders” is not an excuse.

Sincerely,

Representative Steven Cohen
Washington, DC

And so on…Seems Rep Cohen is a busy correspondent

Awwww…From the Daily Caller: Women in Boehner’s home state love it when he cries

Fox News: Where Was the Media When Bush Was Being Called Hitler?

Thank you CK for making this point:

This is Daily Caller video is awesome: Herman Cain, CEO of Godfather’s Pizza circa 1994, challenging Bill Clinton on Hillarycare:

“On behalf of all those business owners that are in a situation similar to mine, My question is quite simply, if I’m forced to do this…what will I tell those people whose jobs I’ll have to eliminate.”

Watch Slick Willy’s face drop after he thinks he’s masterfully handled the question and Cain (who has clearly done his homework) begs to differ, crunching the numbers for him.
