Col. Kenneth L. Reusser, USMC (Ret.)

Michelle Malkin suggests that we honor Col. Kenneth L. Reusser, USMC (Ret.) in lieu of the ridiculous adulation being given to Michael Jackson.  I agree completely.

New Duke Rape Case

WOW!  There’s a new Duke rape case which is not being reported by the mainstream media.  I wonder why?  Mike Adams has an idea:

Frank Lombard is the associate director of Duke’s Center for Health Policy. The university administrator was recently arrested by the FBI and charged with offering up his adopted 5-year-old son for sex. I tried to contact Frank Lombard over the weekend to probe his expertise regarding the health benefits of raping small children. So far, he’s declined to comment.

University administrator Lombard is accused of logging on to a chat room online and describing himself as a “perv dad for fun.” The detective who wisely looked into the suspicious screen name says that Lombard admitted to molesting his own adopted son. All this was before allegedly inviting a stranger to travel to North Carolina from another state to statutorily rape his already-molested adopted son.

Adams also notes, in light of the fact that Mr. Lombard is homosexual and the child is black:

The Associate Press (AP) did not mention the fact that the five-year old offered up for molestation was black. Bringing that fact to light might be damaging to the political coalition that exists between blacks and gays. Nor did the AP mention that the adopted child is being raised by a homosexual couple. Bringing that fact to light might harm the gay adoption movement.

Since he WORKS for Duke, that makes the prostitution and rape of a 5 year-old okay.  If he was a white lacrosse player, he’d be toast for sure.  I wonder how his collegues will react?  Mr. Adams has an idea on that as well:

If this case goes to trial, it could be an interesting one to watch. But it will be just as interesting to watch the Duke faculty respond to these allegations. It didn’t take them long to respond when several white Duke Lacrosse players were accused of raping a black stripper. A whopping 88 professors signed a statement accusing the players of both racism and rape. Such was their regard for the presumption of innocence.

Perhaps even more stunning was the response of some professors after it became apparent that the white lacrosse players were innocent. After that became so obvious the school had to readmit the students, Professor Kate Holloway resigned her committee assignments in protest.

EDIT:  More here.

72 Year-Old Badass

I’ll just let the story speak for itself.  Suffice to say I think this is exceedingly cool.  Good job, Mr. Corti!

Key quote:

‘If you can’t defend what’s yours, where are we at?’

Indeed, sir.

Cap and Trade

The House votes on the Cap and Trade bill today.  Unfortunately, a 300 page amendment has been added at the last possible minute.  In other words, this is yet another bill voted on without first being read – just like the “stimulus bill”.  That’s gone well, hasn’t it.

FINALLY!!!

It’s about time.  Obama releases a statement on the shooting at the Army recruiting center in Arkansas.  Of course, it took a MUCH longer time and was not nearly as forceful in its condemnation.  I don’t know why I expected anything else.

The Arkansas shooting statement:

I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long’s family as they mourn the loss of their son.

The Kansas shooting statement:

I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.

“Shocked and outraged” by the murder of an abortion doctor but only “deeply saddened” by the murder of an American soldier.

Reagan Statue Unvelied

Very nice.  I firmly believe Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th Century and one of the greatest of all.  I am so glad I was blessed to live during his presidency.  I was too young to realize how great he was then, but I do now.

David Carradine, R.I.P.

Damn!  This sucks.  I always liked him and loved Kung Fu.

UPDATE!

According to Bangkok police, Carradine committed suicide.

Krauthammer Nails It

Charles Krauthammer has an excellent piece up at Townhall. 

Make the case for individual vs. group rights, for justice vs. empathy. Then vote to confirm Sotomayor solely on the grounds — consistently violated by the Democrats, including Sen. Obama — that a president is entitled to deference on his Supreme Court nominees, particularly one who so thoroughly reflects the mainstream views of the winning party. Elections have consequences.

Vote Democratic and you get mainstream liberalism: A judicially mandated racial spoils system and a jurisprudence of empathy that hinges on which litigant is less “advantaged.”

A teaching moment, as liberals like to say. Clarifying and politically potent. Seize it.

I don’t like the idea of Sotomayor being confirmed, but elections do have consequences.  

Obama Learns Something at Lunch

I thought Obama was the smartest president ever.  Maybe not so much.

Reid Doesn’t Readp

This should come as no surprise.  Harry Reid voted for the “stimulus” bill without reading it.
