What ever happened to Cindy Sheehan?
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Media Bias, Our Dear Leader, Politics
You remember Cindy Sheehan, the left’s “ultimate moral authority” when protesting the policies of former President George W. Bush. Well, she hasn’t been in the news much lately. Not since her campaign van had its tires slashed when she was running against Nancy Pelosi.
Well, it appears she made the news a couple of weeks ago, but not the same level of coverage she used to get from the fawning left leaning MSM outlets that she got protesting President George W. Bush.
She was arrested outside the White House, were she was protesting the policies of our Dear Leader. She was quote as yelling “Arrest that war criminal!” in reference to Mr. Obama.
You don’t remember seeing this on the evening news? Neither do I. No mention of it on CNN’s site either. It seems that Ms. Sheehan’s passion no longer fits the MSM’s narrative.
iPads hitting the streets this week
It’s a nifty & shiny gadget and here is a post I made about it over at Urbin Technology.
I was discussing tech stuff with a buddy and made the following comment.
The Apple iPad really isn’t a new product trying to break into the market, it’s an expansion on an existing product line with a rabidly fanatical user base.
It’s not the magic device that many had hoped for, but it’s magic in a business sense that is pure Steve Jobs. It’s certainly good enough.
I used to carry a better phone than my iPhone, and a better PDA, and an MP3 player with more storage, and better camera. My iPhone does all those functions, not as well, but good enough, that I only carry one device all the time, instead of four.
Ya, the Kindle is probably a better e-text reader due it’s E-ink screen, but is it good enough to spend an additional $260 for when your $500 tablet, that does a bunch of other stuff as well, is a good enough e-text reader?
As for that “bunch of other stuff,” just look at the itunes store. Not just the apps, but the movies and TV shows. The iPad is handier than my notebook, has a better screen than my netbook, and with the rumored Hulu app, I’ll be able to stream Red Eye and watch TV shows as well as video bought or rented through iTunes. That isn’t even counting the apps being written now to take advantage of the new features of the bloody thing.
My prediction is that it’s going to sell and sell well. It’s popularity will drive sales for other tablet platforms, such as the Adam. The beauty of is that is a typical Apple product in that there is nothing really ground breaking about it. It’s a collection of well known and existing technology put together into a really well designed package.
Quote of the Day
Look, this debate is basic: it’s small government vs. big government. So how cowardly do folks like Blood and Frank Rich have to be that they can’t man up and defend their love for collectivism? The only reason they scream race, is because that debate scares them. They know a racial accusation prevents dialogue, because such a harmful charge far outweighs any benefits of winning an argument.
Rev. Sharpton informs the American voters just what they voted for
Now, educated people on the right have been saying for a while that our Dear Leader‘s policies are socialist.
We now have some verification on this from the extremist left, by way of the Rev. Al Sharpton, who ran for the democrat nomination for President a few years ago.
The Rev. Sharpton makes the point that our Dear Leader‘s policies were pretty clearly socialist during the election, so people are just getting what they voted for.

You can count on a few things in this world. The swallows will return to Capistrano. Salmon will spawn. Canada’s geese will fly south for the winter. And tax cuts will create growth.

Marty Lamb is running for the 3rd Congressional seat in Massachusetts
Marty Lamb is a Republican running for the 3rd Congressional seat in Massachusetts. He had his kick off meeting in Westborough, MA on March 26, 2010. There was a very good turnout of supporters.
Marty, unlike our current congressman, is not a career politician and has actually worked in the private sector. He has a lot of support from the local Tea Party movement and believes that “government’s primary role is to preserve, protect and defend your God-given gift of freedom, not to micromanage your life.”
Update: I have some of my photographs from the event posted. Some of the other local bloggers who attended were RightWing Granny and Angel Fleming. Christen Varley of the Greater Boston Tea Party introduced Marty at the event.
Update: Marty Lamb has a very different view of the government takeover of the American Health Care system than the incumbent democrat, James McGovern.
Friday B-Movie Pick: Remo Williams
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins
Based on the long running pulp book series “The Destroyer”, Remo Wiliams: The Adventure Begins is the only screen version of the approximately 150 book series. The cast is actually pretty good, with Joel Grey, Wilford Brimley, Fred Ward and for you Star Trek geeks out there, Kate Mulgrew. Don’t expect high art, but it is fun to watch.

That’s No Angry Mob, That’s My Mom: Team Obama’s Assault on Tea-Party, Talk-Radio Americans by Michael Graham
Boston Talk Radio host Michael Graham has been following the Tea Party movement since it started picking up speed and now tells you just who those people are. Hint, it’s not the people the leftist talking heads at MSNBC and CNN are describing.
