TMH’s Bacon Bits

So the liberals are reduced to cleaning out their closet of past failures and resurrecting one of the worst to be their Sir Galahad: Gary Hart, who will save the day from the awful spying of that medieval tyrant, King George of Bushland.

Our weekly choices of mind-numbing, eye-catching headlines:

Hillary is for real, and a real threat who wants not only your ruby slippers, but your schools, your children, your businesses, etc. to be controlled by her egalitarian, godless big government mindset.

Personally, I wish that Bush, resolute as he is, had a little more Jack in him — that he would be a bit more bold, a bit more in the faces of his liberal elitist detractors in Congress and the MSM.

It appears to me that the issue is really this: multiculturalism is fine – just don’t mention traditional Judeo-Christian religion.

We’re not real keen on polls here, but perhaps those ultra-sensitive Democrats should listen up to the American people on the eavesdropping issue. From the Political Grapevine on Fox News:
The National Security Agency program to eavesdrop on terrorists calling or e-mailing people in the United States may be controversial in Washington, but far less […]

One of our contributors, Craig McCarthy, set up a petition to stop taxpayer funding of the ACLU, quite a while ago. We are trying to help Craig reach at least 25,000 signatures. We are not that far away.

Open post bloggy goodness from the luxury surroundings of a secluded tropical beach. …well OK, it’s only the beach at Ocean City, Maryland, which, while not a tropical paradise, is sure a nice (if chilly) escape during the lull between Christmas and New Years. There’s ice skating, swimming, an exercise room, a separate bedroom for […]

When so many on the left seem hell-bent on capitulating to the forces of Islamofascist evil that aim to crush the West utterly, it is good to know that such thinkers as Mr. Gaffney and his co-authors are on our side.

I have no idea what this title means. Sounded applicable, though, since I quite simply ate way too much Christmas weekend. And, I’m still feeling it.
It’s a bad feeling.
Perhaps you’ll want to gorge youselves on the links below while I try desparately not to think of words like “gorge.”

Success is, very often, in avoiding the mainstream.

As you may or may not already be aware, members of the Watcher’s Council hold a vote every week on what they consider to be the most link-worthy pieces of writing around… per the Watcher’s instructions, I am submitting one of my own posts for consideration in the upcoming nominations process.
Here is the most […]

Now, man’s dignity in the modern science lab is reduced to the level of assembling and reassembling, just as if we were four-cylinder engines or cars and clocks and radios, or more appropriately, Tinker Toys for the gods in lab coats to play with.

Says Steyn of Tsunami 2004: the affected countries and peoples are still, for the most part, either awaiting that promised assistance, or have been “assisted” in hopelessly ludicrous and unhelpful ways.

The only half-hearted face-saving response from the left could be “George went to war with his lie; Teddy didn’t.” Sorry, that won’t fly for a Chappaquiddick minute.

Pope Benedict XVI celebrated the midnight Mass of Christmas and afterwards blessed the crowd in St. Peter’s Square from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica then delivered his “Urbi et Orbi” message “to the city and to the world.”

The Sunday Mass scriptures during Advent have been particularly rich with Isaiah readings this year. Historians believe that Isaiah chapters 1-39 are drawn directly from the great spiritual leader himself, while the later chapters are attributed to anonymous poets and desciples who prophesied in the spirit of the prophet toward the end of the Babylonian […]

If you’ve ever been checking out headlines and your head snapped back and you said wha…this is probably what you saw:

Jim at bRight & Early exposes and analyzes a civil rights travesty that’s been sitting right under our noses for years. The implications are grave indeed, especially since the weakest among us are directly affected.
Where is Tom Daschle when we need him the most, to — as pointed out (more or less) by […]

Is it just me, or is it quite ironic that, so close to the eve of our celebration of the virgin birth of Jesus the Christ, scientists coveting similar godlike creation power would fall so far from grace?

For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests.
They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.
–Isaiah 9:5
So close, so close! Leave your favorite trackbacks and go, shoo shoo, and be with your family this holy weekend.

Apparantly it isn’t enough for the ACLU that the NY Times leaked classified information that we are spying on international phone calls of suspected terrorist.

Perhaps Pogo was right and the offended folks in the “Save Christmas!” movement may have only themselves to blame. How many of the offended have ever succumbed to the expediency of calling it Xmas?
