“. . . and we are political junkies.”–“Hi, Mark; hi Mom!”
You’ll never catch Mom or me at a Twelve Step meeting. I don’t want “serenity.” I want adrenaline. I want to roll up one sleeve, plug my high speed internet cable into a vein, let my eyes roll back, and quiver uncontrollably when I hear […]
According to the BBC, over a million people in Bogata protested FARC’s terrorist war against the Colombian people.
On the streets of Bogota, the message was blunter.
“No more Farc, we don’t want any more Farc, young people have to say no to the Farc and tell them to stop their violence,” student Jaime Martinez said.
Former hostage […]
In Colombia, FARC continues to tease by again claiming they will release two hostages (out of 3000 civilian and military hostages, of which a couple hundred are high profile hostages).
This is a game, of course, allowing nearby Venezuela President Chavez to bask in the limelight pretending he is Castro’s heir in promoting socialist utopias in […]

It appears that the criminals exploiting our notoriously “not very secure” Southern border have a new tool in their arsenal.
Vehicles bearing fake logos of the Border Patrol, Fedex, DirecTV and everyone’s favorite source of outsourced goods, “Walmart” are being used to smuggle illicit merchandise and […]
Michelle Malkin has a link to this intriguing item: Bomb factory in Colombia professor’s home.
The professor’s area of expertise is the spread of infectious disease.
Umm…like maybe anthrax? The link brings up all sorts of questions.
But a Medline search shows that the lowly professor’s published works are mainly about interviewing HIV positive men about POV parties, […]
Robert Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television and one of Hillary Clinton’s impolitic high-profile supporters apologized to Barack Obama for his comments in a SC campaign event on January 13th insinuating that while the Clintons were in the trenches fighting for civil rights, Obama was in the hood taking drugs (Obama admitted youthful marijuana and […]
If Oliver Stone bothered to go outside his Caracas hotel room into some of the small nearby businesses, he might meet the middle class folks who demonstrated many time en mass against Chavez’ attempt to become dicator.But if Stone went around the corner, he would find the lower middle class neighborhoods are dotted with small […]
Oliver Stone was left with the proverbial egg on face when a highly publicized “hostage release” of a two woman and a child, a son “conceived by one with a captor” were to be released into the waiting arms of Venezuela’s left wing president Chavez.
Whoops. Turns out the boy was a foster child in Bogata…and […]
New Code of Behavior Has Amsterdam Police Ready for Court
“Has to be Scope for Soft Drugs”
Dutch Cops Just Want to Have Fun
Drug police in Amsterdam are going to fight for their right to party.

With new Social Security verification laws on the horizon, up to 20 million illegal aliens are probably will have to come up with a legitimate identity in order to remain employed.
Up until now, anyone has been able to make up a number and pass it off with false identification. DHS (Department of Homeland Security) was […]
DEA’s Deadly Decision
As Prescription Drug Deaths Increase – DEA Reduces Restrictions on Schedule II Drugs
On Wednesday December 19th 2007, the DEA announced physicians’ are now allowed to write a prescription for a 90 day supply of schedule II drugs. Schedule II drugs are controlled and classified as legal narcotic and stimulant drugs with high potential […]
Being a leftist makes things so easy to understand things.
It’s like sausage: Just place anything into the meatgrinder, and out comes sausage. It gives you a nice template in which to judge foreign policy.
In the Philippines, it means you can issue reports condemning the government’s hand in “extrajudicial” killing of leftists while ignoring the NPA […]
In the halcyon days of TV there was a game show, “To Tell The Truth,” in which contestants bluffed – even lied – their way through their résumés, claiming experiences and expertise they did not have. The object of the game was to fool the panel into voting for the bogus contestants, instead of the […]
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal judges have the discretion to give “reasonably” shorter prison terms for crack-cocaine crimes to reduce the disparity with crimes involving cocaine powder.
The 7-2 ruling represents a victory for lawyers who argued that crack-cocaine offenders were unfairly targeted under U.S. sentencing guidelines.
Current federal penalties for selling 5 grams […]
Drug Warriors Select a New Target
Hershey’s Ice Breakers Look Like Crack Cocaine?
“Clueless” is Used as an Unintended Description
“Drop the Ice Breakers and step away from the car.”
It would’ve been mildly amusing if it had been satire. After searching the story to see if it was intended to be a humor piece, “Mint or Drug: […]
Say hey. Philadelphia has a new day. On November 6th, reform candidate Michael Nutter was elected mayor by the largest margin in the history of Philly mayoral elections. A gut reaction against the corruption and crime that flourished during the two terms of Mayor John Street. The feds convicted players in and around Street’s city […]
Recent picture of Suad Leija taken during an interview with La Raza. Although not mentioned in many of the articles about this arrest, Suad is responsible for providing a lot of the information used in this latest indictment. Her story has been covered in the mainstream media by Lou Dobbs, Paula Zahn, Fox, CNN, La […]
Ecuador wants a swap: the U.S. base at Manta, Ecuador for a base in Miami, Florida. Is Ecuador making a military or political point?
Ecuador’s leftist President Rafael Correa said Washington must let him open a military base in Miami if the United States wants to keep using an air base on Ecuador’s Pacific coast.
Correa has […]
Over the weekend, the press has been awash with a story that Iran is refusing to adhere with International money laundering standards.
It appears Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his motley crew of religious extremists don’t want anyone looking at their money flow “too closely.” My guess is that it might reveal that some of the money is […]
Nope, no profiling allowed, folks.
Christian musicians entering the US from Canada, complete with seven kids are stopped and turned back twice by the border guards…
A security risk? Right. Pious Christian musicians with seven kids in tow are obviously a security risk (sarcasm)…What gives?
Well, I guess after Anne Applebaum reported strange behavior by supposedly innocent Syrian […]
With 400 days until Election ‘08, Rob and Will report on Newt’s political abstinence, Rudy’s moderate handicap, the power of McCain’s straight talk, a Desperate (Housewives) tour for change, and much more.
Watch now!
Here’s a case for the CSI.
A group of nasty kidnappers/drug runners/leftist “insurgents” are under alot of pressure. Then they run into problems when they murder eleven VIP’s.
Was it in cold blood, or was it to send a message to the government, or did someone hire a private army to rescue them, and they were murdered […]
The US knows that Iran is a major problem in the war on terror.
Yet during last week’s meeting between Bush and President Karzai of Afghanistan, they ended up agreeing to disagree on Iran.
On Sunday,(Karzai) told CNN, “So far, Iran has been a helper and a solution” in Afghanistan. “We have had very, very good, very, […]
Not all the illegal immigrants slipping across our Southern border were born in Mexico. For years, a substantial amount of them hail from Central America and now there is evidence that Islamic drug traffickers are using the route, also.
Although many of the people making this crossing are looking for jobs, which will enable them to […]
In Colombia, a nasty “insurgency” has been going on for 40 years, and has had thousands of casualties.
Usually “elites” in the US press and universities see “peasant insurgencies” as the good guys, but few even in the left wing US press think good of FARC, a murderous group that not only kills judges and local […]
No, not in Iraq…Colombia…
The “insurgency” in Colombia has been going on since the 1950’s, and has killed over a hundred thousand people. The war predates Bush, predates Clinton, and even predates the war on drugs (although this hasn’t stopped commentators on all sides from using it to bash their favorite targets). It’s still alive for […]
I’ve blogged previously about an Alaska high schooler who, at a parade with his classmates during school hours, held up a banner that said “Bong Hits 4 Jesus.” The school principal took the banner away and suspended him, and he sued on First Amendment grounds.
As I said previously, the student has every right to argue […]
