It's not often I say this, but this photo by Dallas Morning News photographer Sonya N. Hebert offers a powerful, important and very timely contribution following Maj. Nidal Hasan's Ft. Hood killing spree.
The photo shows Sgt. Fahad Kamal of Houston praying today during Friday prayer [...]

The White European Caucasion Party... err... I mean the Democrat Congressional Hispanic Caucus has threatened the White House with voting AGAINST the ObamaCare bill if that bill REFUSES to give those awesomely-kewl illegal border runners free health care coverage.
I mean, more free than what they get now with the [...]

A Middle Eastern ally has used American arms, munitions and war-planes to drop bombs on Islamic Extremists across its border.
Can you guess who the parties are?

Didn't know there was an Arab anywhere in the world named "Jimmy". Or are we confusing this guy with our Jimma?
And, didn't know that Anne Frank was a zionist conspiracy.
It [the report] questioned how long Lebanon would "remain an open arena for the Zionist invasion of education."

As Dave in Texas, over at Ace, says, the FUNEMPLOYMENT index is now at 10.2%. And climbing. And as we all know by now, this Awesome number does not truly represent the funemployment index that everyone is experiencing right now. That index has to now be at the most [...]

Okay, I'll be the first person to admit that 2009 hasn't been all that great here at Snapped Shot, so I understand completely if y'all don't think we're worthy of any nominations this time around.
That being said, there are plenty of other blogs [...]

I don't know about y'all, but this describes exactly what I was thinking as I listened to President Moonbat's inept address live on the radio yesterday:
But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light [...]

Sure, Charles. That's exactly what the important word is there.
If you asked me three years ago if I ever expected to see Charles Johnson make such a big deal out of the fact that a murderous cretin was a member of the U.S. military, while ignoring the [...]

Q: Why broadsheet?
A: We think that the best chance for newspapers’ survival is to do what the internet can’t: namely, use and explore the large-paper format as thoroughly as possible. To that end, we opted for a huge and luxurious broadsheet–15″ [...]

Back in early October, we told you about the death of Gourmet, the smartly designed magazine that always got our mouths a-watering. It's been a strange new world without it and although we have other magazines to turn to when we're feeling those foodie urges, we [...]

Another town. Another cop. Another photographer gets his photos deleted.
This time it went down in Anne Arundel County, Maryland when Antonio Amador grabbed his camera to photograph a fatal accident that took place outside his home on October 24. This was part of an ongoing project to [...]

While waiting for a clearer picture from Fort Hood, I was struck by this photo from yesterday's newswire. It offers American troops baldly showing the Afghans how things are done. (The hands far right, probably a trainer's hands, still are particularly suggestive.)
If Nidal Hasan [...]

I was excited when Taschen announced the first volume of Type: A Visual History of Typefaces and Graphic Styles, described as ?This exuberant selection of typographic fonts and styles traces the modern evolution of the printed letter? *. Such language, including the title, is disingenuous, because this [...]

I don't know who created this video (sounds like M4GW), but they did an excellent job. Take 10 minutes out of your life to educate yourself. Education keeps you from being scared by emotion that is presented as science.
Here's another great video that dispells Gore-bacles lies.

You'll be singing those blues come next November, Gerry.
Apparently, our Congressman and former (corrupt*) chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has had a couple of slight problems in his offices this afternoon.
Problem number one was a dastardly woman, called a "constituent," who had the shocking audacity [...]

Drew M. breaks the news:
3:42 eastern: Killen, TX official on FNC says 3 shooters. 1 in custody, 1 surrounded by police and a third at large. Repeats 7 dead, 12 wounded.
Fort Hood covers a pretty big area, and it doesn't sound very clear exactly where this happened. Our prayers are [...]

Even if Steele is a blowhard... and the photo is just a grasp for the past from a party out-of-sorts... and a knee-jerk move to slap a not-very-convincing exclamation point on a minor, and not-systemic couple of off-year wins...
maybe these guys aren't all that [...]

I think I slept through all of the morning news today. Or, to be more precise, I read it all, but haven't really had much to say about any of it.

As if swine flu weren't bad enough, now the unholy enemy of all who stand upright has landed on our shores. Of course, we are talking about tripping. But this time it has nothing to do with Bilbao, bridges, or Santiago Calatrava. Instead, it's the [...]

Of course, DNC Chair Tim Kaine is going to eat humble pie after the Dems lost two high-profile Governorships on Tuesday. The expression also goes with the territory. But did outgoing Governor Tim really have to [...]

Lo and behold, it would seem that somebody was [...]

It goes without saying that the Daughters of the American Revolution is quite possibly one of the most uncontroversial groups in American politics. After all, if you oppose the American Revolution, then what else is there for you to admire about American history?

BVBL points out an interesting anomaly.
While it could be indicative of someone trying to fudge the election numbers, it's, as Greg says, more likely that some kind of human error occurred.
Either way, I'm sure the Board of Elections will get it corrected promptly. Otherwise, here's how it looks [...]

First he used his hand. Then he used his belt. When it was over, the [...]

My good friend again does all of the heavy lifting around here:
I repeat the take-away that the media doesn't want to mention:
It's not just that Democrats have overwhelming majorities, including a filibuster-proof sixty votes in the Senate, in both Houses of Congress.
It's not just that Obama keeps blaming the [...]

Ace chimes in on the latest meme that Obama was "not a factor" in Virginia's election:
As a formal matter Jake Tapper is simply wrong; in Virginia, for example, 39% of voters said Obama was a factor in their vote. About half of that 39% voted to support him and [...]

... And judging by this video, which I found courtesy our good friends at The Jawa Report, it looks like Obama's doing just as poorly over there as he is here:

Indeed.

I can honestly say that I did not see this one coming.
