Drudge has a unveiled a sneak preview of Pat Buchanan’s new book – Where the Right Went Wrong.

Some snippets:

I’ve been barking up this tree since 2001. As I’ve said before, I’m a Bush supporter and I’ll be backing him this November, but you’re fooling yourself (or simply not paying attention) if you refer to him as “conservative.”

As usual, Pat spouts off a good deal of stuff I don’t agree with – for example, he always tends to lean towards supporting the Palestinians, no matter what they do. Israel can do no right, and the Palestinians no wrong in his eyes. Does that mean he’s an anti-semite? I don’t know – but he’s always coming down on the side of Al-Jizzeira (sic) when the issue is what to do about Islamofascism. Pat is also an isolationist to a fault. I am all for national soverignity, but Pat would have us withdraw completely from the rest of the world, even when it comes to defending our interests and safety.

Where Pat is right, however, is his analysis of conservatism and the implosion of the Republican party. There is no party – short of the Libertarians, who are too damned stoned to get anything done – that practices fiscal restraint and smaller government.

I’ll have to pick this one up and read it, much as I did Death of the West. It’s always an education with Pat – even when he goes off the rails.

Well, as I spent the weekend on the road, I was out of the loop most of the time. However, there’s plenty to bitch about, so let’s get started.

Wag the Boob. Janet Jackson is so delusional – much like her plastic-man brother – that she thinks her bare breast was used as a distraction so that we could attack Iraq. Now there’s someone who has bought into her own hype.

Why aren’t the Olympics over yet? President Junior is going to the Olympics. Iraqi soccer team victorious? Still don’t care. U.S. Basketball loses again? Funny, but not still interesting enough to tune in. Wake me when the games are over.

The French still suck. The french have burned down a Jewish Community Center. I think about the french every now and then – like when I take a huge dump. What a bunch of socialist, anti-semitic, lazy, smelly bastards. It seems like they’re all a bunch of pacifists until someone puts down their wine long enough to say “let’s go beat some Jews!” Only then do they spring into action – the rest of the time they’re washing and ironing their white flags for the next surrender.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggh! One of my favorite paintings was stolen from an Oslo (Norway) museum. At least there is some humor in this story:

As everyone in Europe is disarmed, anyone showing up with a handgun can generally have anything they want on that continent.

In Europe, they’re so frightened of guns, that they can’t even be sure about identifying them. It was “something that looked like a gun,” that fired something that looked like a bullet. Idiots.

Ed Koch is voting for President Junior. It’s another dim-o-crack who knows that Kerry would lay down and take it from the terrorists, rather than go after them, as Bush has done. Hopefully most of the dimwitted “independents” will fall this way as well come November.

Well, there’s plenty more, but the rest will have to wait until tomorrow. Gotta go unpack and what-not. Only a short week until the college football season begins. I may weep with joy.

The lovely Mrs. Holmes was asking me recently, “have you heard Kerry rebut any of the content of the Swifties’ book?”

The answer is no. And as I predicted to her a while back, the dim-o-cracks will not be able to fight the content of the swift vets’ book, because when it comes to fighting facts with facts, the dim-o-cracks lose every time.

Now, in true Gorean fashion, Lurch is filing a complaint with the Federal Election Commission to try to stop the swifties’ ad campaign.

Soros, Chris Matthews and the rest of the leftist bastards have gotten into the mix – requesting that bookstores remove the Swifties’ books from the shelves. They’ve requested that the publisher withdraw the books. Still, no actual rebuttal of the facts brought out in the book itself.

You haven’t heard the Bush camp demand that Fahrenheit 9/11 be removed from movie theaters. You haven’t heard them demand that the 4,500 books that have come out this year lying about Bush, Cheney, Halliburton, Rumsfeld, etc, be taken off the shelves. You haven’t heard the RNC demand that the New York Times be shut down – though that would be a blessing. You haven’t heard these things because true political censorship always comes from the left.

As is often the case, when liberals don’t like a dissenting opinion, they either shout down the other side, or run to the government using terms like “hate speech” and demanding censorship. This is just another example of the rampant liberal hypocrisy. They’re soaking in it.

Now this sounds like an evening of pure entertainment: The election event of the season, “Vaginas Vote, Chicks Rock!”

I was so worried that vaginas in this country were going unheard from. I’m glad they’ve finally found their voice. As everybody knows, that the only people who commit violence against women are white males who vote Republican. They may not do it with their fists, but they do it with their repressiveness and through domination of the remote control.

Like so many other “get out the vote” groups, these twits claim to be “non-partisan”. In reality, their only mission is to drum up more votes for their anti-war war hero, Lurch.

Next time someone comes knocking at your door trying to “get out the vote”, greet them with a grenade launcher.

Al Gore gets speeding ticket in Oregon.

When will this criminally insane lawbreaker finally be put behind bars for good???

First, he took illegal campaign cash from Buddhist monks. Then he attempted to steal the 2000 Presidential election and re-write election law through his excessive lawsuit-filing. Now he’s endangered Oregonians with his homicidally reckless driving.

You may think that driving 75 in a 55 is “no big deal”, but he could have easily crashed his fossil-fuel burning rental car into oncoming traffic. He could have run over a moose or some other innocent wildlife – perhaps an endangered grouse or river otter. Or – worst case scenario – he could have veered off the roadway and damaged a tree – perhaps a tree that in which Julia Butterfly Hill once sat and worshipped Gaia.

These possibilities are all too horrific to even consider – so, I beg you, Oregon State Police – lock this madman up before he commits another crime!

Terrorist killed while preparing bomb…

The story notes that the terrorist (Reuters translation: Freedom-fighter) critically injured his parents while trying to manufacture his device. I suppose this was a case of reaping what they’ve sewn.

It’s too bad this type of “accident” doesn’t happen more often to Palestinian bomb laborers. I’m sure the bomb-makers’ union will have something to say about these unsafe working conditions.

I guess I’ve been out of the loop – just discovered this item courtesy of Neal Boortz.

Caught on tape: Cops use taser on man trying to get home.

Understandably, there are a lot of pissed off people in the wake of Hurricane Charley and the local authorities aren’t helping the situation with horseshit like this. Per Boortz:

The question remains, how much do we really need government protecting us from ourselves? We’ve got too much of that going on as it is, and we certainly don’t need overzealous Barney Fife-types tasering homeowners in front of their kids. This is one of those rare situations where I would be happy to see a lawsuit emerge against these pricks. Hurricane or no hurricane, this is crap.

I’ve been trying to avoid writing about the Kobe Bryant rape case, but since it’s about to crumble, I might as well weigh in. I know my throngs of readers are just dying to know my thoughts on the case. In cases like this, I tend to side with the woman filing the charges – and even moreso when the accused is a star athlete at any level. My reaction to this case has been different from the start, however.

Sports stars play by different rules as soon as they are cherry-picked for greatness in high-school — or even middle-school, for that matter. More often than not, they are passed through academic courses so that they may be kept on the playing field. They are treated with kid gloves at every turn, and their transgressions are often swept under the rug – unless their crimes are so egregious that they can’t be hidden and potential jail time comes into play.

With this in mind, the Bryant case, superficially at least, seems like a slam-dunk for the prosecution.

However, for some reason, this case jumped out at me as a money-grab from the very beginning. An opportunistic (and hot) young blonde predator – yes, I said predator – saw a chance for some quick cash and a romp in the sack with a superstar and went for it. Neither party denies that they got it on, but the question is – was it consentual – and as more of the young lady’s sexual history has come out, it looks more and more like it probably was.

Therefore, as more news comes out about the case falling apart, my money is riding on the case being tossed out. Once that happens, it will be interesting to see how much money she can make via the civil courts.

If it turns out that some unexpected evidence turns up and Kobe is proven guilty in criminal court, someone remind me to eat crow.

Kerry flies his Washington D.C. hairdresser to Portland, Oregon for a touch-up.

Another shining example of how the Dim-O-Crack party’s billionaire nominee relates to his blue-collar constituency.

Johnny Walker Red over at Right on Red has an excellent testimonial on why he’s voting for President Junior in November.

As I’ve previously posted, I too will be punching Junior’s chad in November – and for one reason: he has already proven that, under fire and against world opinion, he is best able to lead us in the war on terror, which is the only issue that matters this year.

As Johnny pointed out to me a while back, President Junior’s excessive domestic spending won’t be an issue when we’re all dead. More from Johnny’s post:

Well put. Go read the whole post.

Quite honestly, I don’t know what this is, but I just found it going through some old digital pix and thought it needed to be posted.

This was a license plate on the front of someone’s car. I suppose that was their own “personal” style of tribute, but what a freakin’ odd way to commemorate 9/11. By the way, this is NOT one of the 9/11 images I recommend you send to a liberal friend.

Back to your regularly scheduled issue-oriented blogbrowsing.

Rob, at Say Anything, has discovered and shared the Athens Olympics official (hilarious) linking policy.

Some details:

So, in the spirit of Rob’s “disorganized boobs” link, here are some others…

omes after me. Given their attendance so far, they may come after me to offer me free tickets!

94-year old grandmother running for New Hampshire senate seat – seeking to unseat liberal Republican Judd Gregg in this November’s election.

Well, I don’t know if Gregg is a liberal Republican or not, but most of those Northeastern Republican-types are usually leftists in sheeps’ clothing. (See Jim Jeffords, for example)

Doris Haddock, or “Granny D” – a moniker she has adopted to keep her from getting mugged or killed in the types of neighborhoods she’ll have to campaign in as a Dim-O-Crat – has come out swinging, making sure everyone knows that she is “not a nice old lady.”

While no one is really quite sure what she’s talking about, this is certainly an entertaining election story at the very least. Even though I personally disagree with her positions and unintelligible rhetoric, I can’t help but pull for her just a little bit.

Granny D is no stranger to taking on challenges – she “once walked across the country despite emphysema brought on by a half-century of smoking.” If the Republicans in congress had half the spunk of Granny D, they might not be the limp-wristed whipping boys of the Dim-O-Crat minority.

Speaking of the GOP, in typical “please don’t hurt me, I’m just a wittle wepublican” fashion, Judd Gregg is refusing to fight back.

Translated: “I’m not going to make any comments because I am a weak Republican and I don’t want to add to the reality that there’s barely a lick of difference between myself and my opposition.”

Is it any wonder conservatives are jumping off the GOP ship with weakness like this?

Empty Olympic stadiums set off alarm bells.

Okay, now I’m going to really be in trouble with the Mrs. My second olympic post in the same day. But, fear not, for it is good news. Well, good news for those of us who can’t stand the games.

It’s nice to know that so many other folks have a similar revulsion to this international vomit.

UPDATE: Gary, over at IHaveACrazyWife.Com, has more Olympic breaking news regarding a titanic struggle between the U.S. and Romanians in the rowing competition.

U.S. Olympic Basketball gets their asses kicked by lowly Puerto Rico.

Okay, Mrs. Holmes is going to shoe me in the nuts for this one, but I couldn’t resist. I was going to completely boycott the Olympics (much like the U.S. did the Moscow games in 1980), due to my intense dislike for the games, but this one had to be blogged.

The Puerto Ricans – known more for baseball than basketball for sure – beat the living hell out of America’s basketball prima donnas 92-73.

While this doesn’t knock the U.S. out of gold medal contention, it certainly is a kick in the teeth, and a well-deserved one at that. These NBA superstars have demonstrated how much the NBA game has turned into nothing more than a bunch of self-absorbed over-paid showboats who have no concept of team-oriented sports. The NBA has sucked hard since the early 90′s and this is just another example of its continuing downhill slide.

Now, if the NBA would just go on strike for the next year, I would be truly elated.

UPDATE: Drudge must have been reading my blog, as he was just going off on his weekly (thank goodness it’s only weekly) radio show about how the U.S. Olympic basketball team came out during the opening ceremonies with an attitude of “show me the gold… where do I go pick up my gold…” He did, however, point out that they weren’t talking about new gold for their teeth, but rather Olympic gold.

It’s now being reported that Hurricane Charley has killed at least 15 people in Florida since yesterday afternoon and caused potentially billions in damage.

President Junior has weighed in, calling Florida a Federal Disaster Area. However, this was prior to the hurricane’s devastation. After the hurricane hit, President Junior called it a “Really Really Disasterous Disaster Area.”

Not to be outdone, Lurch and his Dingbat Wife have chimed in, extending their “heartfelt sympathies” to those impacted by the storm’s brutality.

Lurch also said the following:

Shortly after Lurch finished his statement, Theresa wrapped her head in aluminum foil and requested that the media help distract & divert the fleet of miniature alien spaceships that have been following her for the last three weeks.

Discovered (via Right On Red & Say Anything) this story about a woman jailed for smoking in front of her kids.

I have mixed feelings about this story – it’s not as simple as mere nanny-state nitwittery. Some details:

The bottom line is that this restriction was part of an agreement for the mother to have visitation with the kids – therefore, if she violates that agreement, she should either have her visitation rights terminated or – in this case – do some jail time. It’s not as cut-and-dried as “woman jailed for smoking in front of her children.”

Another angle of this story that should be considered is the unlikely situation where the father got primary custody of the kids. Our court system is heavily biased towards awarding custody to the mother in situations like these. Without knowing much about the situation, you’d have to figure the mom is a pretty serious scumbag to lose custody to the father.

As a parent, when I see people smoking in front of their kids – particularly in an enclosed car, I have an urge to pull them over and perform a Reginald Denny on them. However, at least for the time being, this is a free country and people are free to be assholes if they like. Some kids just lose out to the luck of the draw in a lot of these situations.

If I’m the father in this case, I try to get the sentence extended to more than 10 days.

New Jersey Governor Resigns, Admits Gay Affair.

Doesn’t that sounds like somebody talking about a cocktail party from the 1930′s? “It was a gay affair, I tell you! Glenn Miller’s Orchestra really had the joint jumpin’!”

Thank God he cleared that up – I was about to question his patriotism! Wait, there’s more!

How could he be any more vulnerable to rumors or allegations? Once he’s outed, shouldn’t he just go back to work? Don’t the children of New Jersey need a gay democratic Governor more than any other kind of Governor? And where did this all start for the Governor, you ask?

Now, I’m not trying to say anything about the Catholics, but…

It certainly sounds like the good Governor was taken in by a con man, granted, apparently a really hot con man, who portrayed himself as a security specialist. Maybe what he meant was that the Governor could feel “secure” in his loving arms.

As the good Mrs. Holmes pointed out last night, while enraptured by the “I’m a Gay American” speech, at least all this pain and suffering heaped upon the good people of New Jersey was because it was a love affair. It’s better that it was for true love rather than some type of seedy carnal pleasure.

And where is the rainbow lobby on this?

Sadly, Lambda Lobby, you miss the point once again. This would be a character issue whether the love affair was with a man or a woman. I realize that’s hard for your ilk to wrap your minds around, but it’s about what extra-marital affairs say about a person’s character – not that they are *gasp* gay. But then again, one of your primary goals is to put the final nail in the coffin of traditional marriage, so this story only goes to bolster your position on how tyrannical the institution truly is. Good luck, Governor.

In this morning’s column, the lovely and talented Ann Coulter analyzes the Old Media’s blackout of the Swift Boat Vets’ story.

A nugget:

Oh, just go read it.

I was just revisiting this post at Something To Cry About – and it caused me to consider what it is that makes pants-shitting leftists have such visceral reactions to 9/11 images. As this is election season, and we’re approaching the three-year anniversary of the attacks, it’s a timely topic to ponder.

The primary reason that the left so reviles any mention or memory of the 9/11 attacks is because it exposes their belief system (if you can make the logical leap of suggesting that liberals have a belief system) as nothing more than a massive load of bunk.

Their pacifism is deadly – deadly to Americans who actually want to remain alive. Their belief that all people are inherently good and can be reasoned with was blown up on 9/11. Their multiculturalism and hyper-tolerance were proven to be our achilles heel on 9/11 – and we’re paying the price to this day. They can’t accept that true evil exists, because they’ve spent so much time using the term “evil” to describe Enron and Ronald Reagan.

In short, 9/11 images are to leftists as garlic is to Dracula, as kryptonite is to Superman, and as the vice squad is to Barney Frank’s gay basement prostitution ring.

In the weeks and months following 9/11, liberalism was thankfully dead. They were proven irrelevent. In fact, many liberals were horrified by the attacks – not because of the slaughter and the murderous insanity – but because of the very hatred they felt as a reaction to the events – hatred that they had no idea was inside them. Everyone – liberals included (except for the Ted Ralls, Michael Moores and Hillary Clintons, who believed that either we deserved it or it was a plot hatched by the Bush Administration) – responded with a justifiable blood lust for revenge. A good number of Americans – myself included – still feel this way about the Islamofascists.

Every time the liberals are confronted with 9/11 images, they start talking about how “tasteless” and “disrespectful” it is to even mention 9/11. This is how the Old Media has removed the images from television, print and the web. They are hoping that out of sight truly is out of mind – and, for a lot of brain-dead, reality-T.V.-watching Americans, this approach works like gangbusters.

Back to the aforementioned post at Something To Cry About.

This post very deftly lays out the Kerry Doctrine. When Lurch boldly “reported for duty” at the Dim-O-Crack convention a few weeks ago, he laid out his terrorism plan. Simply put, he will (1) get Europe to help us fight the Islamofascists, then (2) after waiting for another terrorist attack, he’ll really think about going after them. The post’s text is simple:

The post’s text is interspersed with images from the 9/11 attack on the WTC – it’s a very simple post that makes a brutally poignant point. So much so that some leftist commenters have proven my assertion that liberalism is a psychological disorder with drivel like this:

This is why we need to see as many 9/11 images as possible over this election season and beyond. We are currently in the midst of World War III and it’s not a traditional war in the sense of WWI & WWII. This is a completely different type of war – one in which our enemies target our civilians instead of our military, and one in which we must urgently kill the Islamofascists before they figure out a way to kill us. This doesn’t mean that we follow Lurch’s doctrine and sit back, hold hands and sing Puff the Magic Dragon and wait for the next attack. We do what President Bush has already started – go after them until they are taking a dirt nap or no longer able to fight back.

Let’s make today “Send a 9/11 image to your liberal friends” day. They’ll hate you for it, but there’s still a slim chance that you’ll wake them back up from their delusional CNN-state-of-mind.

Mike Wallace was arrested Tuesday for “disorderly conduct” when his limo driver double parked — then a ruckus ensued as the dreaded Taxi & Limousine Commission took swift action, arresting the 86-year-old lawbreaker.

What Wallace should have been arrested and jailed for are his many years of crimes against journalism.

Discovered (via LGF) this story of some Jewish students attacked at – of all places – Auschwitz, Poland.

Here’s the story from the Jerusalem Post – Jewish Students Attacked at Auschwitz.

This demonstrates just how depraved French anti-semitic culture has become. It was also an opportunity lost – with 3 French idiots vs. 50 students, this was no contest. The Frenchies should have been given the kind of collective beating that would have hospitalized them for weeks, but instead they were given a pass by the pacifist students and Polish authorities.

U.S. to give Border Patrol new powers to deport illegal aliens.

In a shocking move, the federal government has decided to actually allow agents to kick illegals out on their ass, instead of giving them a year to team up with the ACLU and demand Social Security and prescription drugs.

Despite the fact that these illegals already know how to game the system (thanks to the ACLU’s helpful U.S. court tutorials) before they ever cross the border, this might actually mean that we might be able to kick at least a few of them out once we catch them. There is a dark side, however:

Why the hell are we going to be cherry-picking illegals? Is it because Mexican President Vicente Fox and our own President Junior are still in the throes of a passionate love affair? Is it because third-country nationals are slower, and therefore easier to catch in a foot-race? Is it because third-country nationals are seen as “cooler” and more “hip” than their Mexican and Canadian counterparts?

You would think that the left would love this idea. They were so threatened by 10-year old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez, that they rallied the entire B.A.T.F. to go and round him up for deportation. Or perhaps Janet Reno was just hoping to be able to bulldoze and burn down another building where she knew children might be getting homeschooled.

A little late, but had to chime in on this one. When this story was floated around a month ago, I thought it was a joke. But, once again, I’ve been reminded not to take anything for granted, no matter how absurd – and this is as absurd as it gets.

International team to monitor presidential election.

These delusional retards are still so bent out of shape over 2000 that they’ve succeeded in giving away our electoral sovereignty to euro-socialist bastards. It’s not so much that anything these dimwits say will have any bearing on the outcome of the election – it’s more the attention that they’ll get from the mainstream press when there is a close race in a state or locality. We’ll be hearing so much from the Old Media about what “international inspectors” are saying about this or that. It will be just one more thing to make my head explode in November.

We have two people to thank for this affront to our electoral process. The first is Al Gore – the maniacal lunatic who started us down the road of “if you don’t win, sue!” He was so predestined (by the liberals’ political God – whoever that might be – in Al’s case probably a tree), that he couldn’t accept that he had been defeated. Four years later, the party of trial lawyers will have a whole new branch of euro-crybabies to set up lawsuits wherever they don’t like the results of a particular race.

The second person to blame for this slap-in-the-face is Colin Powell. It’s really no surprise coming from the biggest lefty in the administration – second only to President Junior himself. It’s probably a good thing that Colin won’t be at the GOP convention – I took enough of a tongue lashing from him in 2000 for being a white male conservative.

Stumbled across Communists For Kerry when I should have been working today. It’s very much in the same spirit as the Politburo Diktat, but with its own unique personality. You should frequent both sites, really.

You know, I think my uncle is a member of Communists for Kerry. No, he’s just a communist.
