Here are the latest developments regarding the Ted Rall/Seattle P-I cartoon controversy over the weekend. If you haven't seen the cartoon in question, click here. In the words of Robin Boyd, “Anti-American left wing lunatic Ted Rall was not content with depicting the US military as rapists, pedophiles and idiots. In his latest piece of artwork, Rall portrays Iraq War Veterans as torturers and

I have no idea if this story is true, but I received this via e-mail:Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic - much less have a clue aboutEnglish. So, how does a group of Syrian protest leaders create the mostimpact with their signs by having the standard "Death To Americans" slogansprinted in English?Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and writetheir statements

It's pretty obvious there is major assault underway, by the majority of the mainstream press and the liberal blogosphere, to pin every problem imaginable on President Bush, specifically Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath.I spent most of the weekend thinking about how I wanted to respond to some of the pure crap and lies being spun, and to be honest I got so angry with it all I basically turned

Remember WA State Rep. Jim Moeller and his "dumb e-mail" a few weeks ago? Well, the good Rep. is back with more fuel for the fire. The following was sent to the office secretary of Teen-Aid.org, the Spokane-based abstinence education group, after Moeller received the August newsletter, emphasis added in red:Tanya:Please remove me from your email distribution list.

UPDATE: Cindy Sheehan still continues to get virtually unlimited press coverage - even after leaving her post to visit her sick mother... Meanwhile, there has been comparatively little coverage on "Able Danger", Lt. Shaffer, and the Clinton Administration's role in preventing terrorism prior to 9-11.

I received this information over the weekend from a regular Orbusmax visitor, who lives up in the Woodinville area. As you can see, he is not a huge supporter of King County's plan to deal with the "property-ownership-challenged".

Orbusmax prediction for the WA Governor trial election: Judge Bridges to rule against the GOP There was plenty of evidence of mistakes, incompetence... and some signs of individual fraud, mostly in King County. The problem for the Rossi team is the bar that was set in the beginning - not just that illegal votes were cast or that errors were made, but that there is concrete proof of which votes
