Oh, the irony

So, we have Hillary Clinton calling the Bush administration “one of the worst” in history:

“I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country,” she said.

Is is just me, or does it seem that Clinton has little credibility to make such a remark?

Osama cries “Uncle!”

Osama bin Ladin’s latest tape is offering a “truce”:

“We do not mind offering you a truce that is fair and long-term. … So we can build Iraq and Afghanistan …”

Generally, the side that asks for a truce is the side that is losing.

Is it mere coincidence that this comes just a few days after an American missile strike killed several al-Qaida leaders? Just asking.

Pathetic

If the islamists ever manage to nuke an American city, can we expect the same inexcusable anarchy and the same bumbling, half-assed official response that we’re currently witnessing in New Orleans?

Just asking.

Curious

Why are historical figures who claimed to be messengers of god taken seriously, but modern people like this moron are not?

Just asking.

Playing the race card in FL bride case

Demands for an apology from the runaway bride in Florida are increasing. I certainly feel that she should apologize to her town and the hundreds of volunteers that looked for her. However, one call is way out of line:

On Tuesday, Fernando Mateo, president of Hispanics Across America, a New York-based group, called for an apology to the Hispanic population of the United States, and especially those living in Georgia and New Mexico, because Wilbanks had falsely accused a Hispanic man of kidnapping her.

“The Hispanic community has been hurt enough,” Mateo said. “She should apologize to us first, then her fiance and her family.”

If she had claimed that a white man had kidnapped her, could white men demand an apology?
