I hope this isn't the dead letter file, but Patterico has an important post on the Phoney Heros of the Left. The New Republic is stonewalling I guess when a Liberal gets caught lying and the lies to cover that up don't work, then next thing to do is go into a Nixonian Stonewall. Again, Limbaugh was right and The Soros following Democrats are all lying fools.

This week there was a shooting rampage in Crandon, WI. An off duty Deputy Sheriff/part-time city cop shot 6 kids (Ages 14 to 18), killing 5.

The big city paper, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had to weigh in with an editorial where the writer just had to whine about assault rifles. The rifle used was a semi-automatic rifle, not an assault rifle.

I think that people who write such trash ought to suffer intense physical pain until they realize that they are liberal, biased, and stupid.

Sorry, I’m pissed about this entire incident, and A**holes from over 200 miles away pontificating from their cloister do not help my mood.

My Mother and her family live in the area, within 10 miles. There are only a few thousand people in that area and ALL of them knew what was going on within minutes of it happening.

UPDATE on the GOD and Capitol Architect flap. The Architect caved in. He won’t mess with the requested citations anymore.

Empire State Building to go Green « The Van Der GaliÃ«n Gazette — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:00:26 +0000

[...] Oct 11th, 2007 by Michael van der GaliÃ«n I appreciate Sister Toldjah’s blogging, but I disagree with her when she calls it “bizarre” that the Empire State Building will be lit green in honor of the end of Ramadan, especially considering that the same thing happened 10 years ago but not in honor of Ramadan but of Channukah. Besides, isn’t this a good way of showing that one holiday – say Christmas – isn’t more important than another – say Ramadan? And, isn’t it a good way of showing that the war against terrorism isn’t a war against Islam? [...]

The madness continues: God a No-Go on flag certificates

"I was shocked that the word 'God' would be taken off a personal message from my son to his grandfather," Andrew's father, Paul Larochelle, told FOX News.

That's right, political correctness has reached new ground. This flag certificate has nothing to do with an official government "recognition" or any kind of ceremony. This is simply disgusting. Now for the real shocker:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has defended the omission made by acting Architect Stephen T. Ayers, and said she has no plans to change the existing rules.

Tallest Building in NYC Since September 11, 2001 to Honor High Muslim Holiday

It is a testament to our near-endless forgiving nature and inclusiveness that the Empire State Building will be lit in green to celebrate Eid, the most celebrated Muslim holiday. Eid is the festival which marks the end of Ramadan, the solemn Muslim we…

It might be green because that’s often the color lit within the minaret of many mosques. At least that’s why I noticed in Israel.

Normally for Christmas it is red and green but I guess this year there will be a short interruption for Hanukkah as well, it will look like a candle.

The end of the Muslim holiday Ramadan ends this Friday, the Empire State Building plans on recognizing it by lighting up the entire building green. It will remain so until Sunday.

And at Christmas the Empire State Building will not acknowledge any religious significance.
