Good News Bad News
The news all week has been about Virginia Tech and a murderous misfit’s slaughter of 32 innocents. The rest of the news didn’t stop. Here’s some of it:
Bad News from Harry Reid: The War is Lost! Good News from Harry Reid, By Surrendering, We Win! Hey, where have we heard that news before? It’s welcome news in some quarters.
Murtha news: If at first you fail to lose, try, try, try again. Two-month war spending bill would give slow-bleed new life!
Impeachment fever rises! It’ll be news if they (a) come up with an impeachable offense and (b) actually try it. This article fails to present the former and notes that even surrender-happy Congressional leaders refuse to listen to the electorate, or the fringe that passes itself off as representing the electorate, on this one.
Commo Check: Badger Six with news from Anbar for Harry Reid. Blackfive forwards a PFC’s message to Harry from Baghdad. Michelle holds mail call: Pvt. Reid, front and center for your Dear John!
Here’s how its playing in the news: “Bush and fellow Repubicans struggled on Thursday with comparisons between the U.S. wars in Iraq and Vietnam as the Senate’s top Democrat declared the Iraq war lost.” Article strangely neglects to ask: When they will accept such undeniable truth and just surrender?
News flash for Dems: dissing the military is a no-win war strategy. You might want an editorial cartoon or two with your news.
Bad news: the enemy still has a vote, and not just in Congress. But if we’re losing, then how come things are getting better?
Here’s news: The Arab League pretends to give a damn about Iraq. It’ll be big news if it tries doing something useful. About anything.
Not sure this is news: Killing the enemy and securing Iraq is a higher priority than training up Iraqi troops. Someone trying to change the subject?
Important news for people who like to laugh at our Chimp in Chief: he says funny stuff sometimes.
Bad news is, we’re already paying al-Qaeda at the pump. Now we’re sending terrorists tax dollars, too?
News about what this country has come to: There are people out there who actually claim the grieving parents of VTech victims deserved. Because of Iraq. He’s not the only one. This roundup is not supposed to be about VTech news, but some people want to know why NBC can’t get enough of one mass killer when its so squeamish about others.
Great news for people who enjoy playing politics with troops. They can keep playing till June!
Tough news: Gates tells Iraqi govt US patience is wearing thin.
Good news: al-Sadr pulls his six out of the cabinet. No crisis ensues. Could be more a sign of weakness than strength on al-Sadr’s part. Could move things along. Bad news, despite power play, Sadrists don’t want to push their luck. Mahdi Army keeps a low profile. More news like this, please.
Bad news for the Taliban. The Warthogs are back. Just in time to go to work on Iran’s supply trains. Meanwhile, The Paks may actually have to do something about their terrorism- enablance problem. Now their Chinese pals are giving them grief about it.
Sad news: The Netherlands’ first combat loss in Afghanistan.
About time for this news: Islamists sound alarm that Zionist-Crusader intelligence agencies have launched a campaign to shut down their hate/murder-mongering web sites.
Hey, Powerline wants to know how come this isn’t news: “I found Saddam’s WMD bunkers.” Come on, there’s a Bush-bash in there!
In other news, some bad news for Global Warming tinfoil helmet crowd. Canada is headed for the dark side. A lot of inconvenient news making the rounds these days.
News of Old Europe, still struggling mightily to get it. A clue: freedom from evil is not achieved by outlawing everything.
Porkbusting news: the earmarks stay! Because we wouldn’t want to do anything crazy.
Swiftboating, still news. John Kerry, not president. Bad news for libs if it ever gets out they’ve become the party of arrogant rich snobs.
Speaking of which, is it news that the majority of Americans dislike Hillary?
McCain pulls a Reagan: “Bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.” The harder right that guy runs, the more I like him. Too bad they never live up to their campaign promises. If you’re gonna sing about bombing Iran, you need to sing it like you mean it. Update: McCain tells critics to “get a life.” Hey … all I said was sing it like you mean it! One more time now …
Oh yeah, that campaign. Dean brings us up to date.
Althouse’s biting insight on Obama’s “violence” ramble: “What really struck me about that audio clip though was what a gasbag Obama is.”
Baby boomers: less healthy than the Great Generation or just whinier? Hmmm.
Assimilating the news: its not that Muslim extremists are opposed to assimilation. They just have a different perspective on it. You’d think we wouldn’t need to tell these people that appeasement doesn’t work. Closer to home: When hams hate.
Not exactly news that a little conquest isn’t always a bad thing.
News that the End Times are upon us? Here’s where we would have separated the man from the goat.
It was 232 years ago this week, but the news that citizens are willing to fight for their freedom never gets old. This discussion is particularly relevant to a lot of this week’s news. Speaking of ancient history, funny how everything old is news again.
Captain Ed and I have a chinwag about the news at BlogTalkRadio.

You gotta love McCain’s sick sense of humor. Can you see Rudy cracking that joke? Or Mitt?? (Fred Thompson, maybe.) Forget about the Democrats, who would have tea with Iran than bomb it. Of course, when you look at Iran’s rap sheet, maybe it’s not a joke, or shouldn’t be.

I have nominated Jules Crittenden and Alphie for Dream Ticket ‘08,
.
Let’s see if they can bring us together and begin the healing.

Jules, after you win the ‘08 election, you should nominate corndog to be the Secretary of Peace, Prosperity, and Healing.
After you merge DoD, HHS, Treasury, and Homeland Security to create this new mega-bureaucracy, of course.
Oh, and don’t forget the Interior Department. Someone needs to plant all those flowers!
As for THE ALPHTARD……annex Antarctica, appoint him governor general of the entire continent, and then pull every human being out of there. THE ALPHTARD will then be in charge of maintaining a pristine wilderness there, and ambassador to the penguins.

They’re going to impeach Harry Reid? Sign me up. Oh, wait. That’s not what you meant, is it?
April 20th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Impeach Reid? Not a bad idea! We’ll use the “living Constitution” to justify it.

Jeff-what did the poor penguins ever do to you?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
Aw, c’mon, CAvMedic! Have some faith in the animal kingdom. You think THE ALPHTARD can outwit even ONE penguin? Please!
