Robert Spencer takes a look a the UK’s Orwellian “Islam is Peace” campaign, which is actually designed to fight critics of terrorism, not terrorism itself.

The police officers involved in the Andrew Meyer Taser incident at the University of Florida have been reinstated after being cleared of any wrongdoing. So in honer of that I have decided to post the following poll:

I just wrote about the Harry Reid Smear letter and Rush Limbaugh’s auction a couple of hours ago. Thus far the response has been overwhelming, emails, comments etc. etc.. What is most interesting to me though is who the visitors are. I am obsessed with stats, so much so in fact that I check the server logs after some stories to see what response I get and who is looking. Today I found that within an hour of posting a story about the US Senate I have a bunch of visitors on the site from the US Senate. Now there are also visits from a barrackobama.com and hillaryclinton.com, maybe before it’s done I will have visits from all 41 from Lettergate.
Conspiracy theories are not really my thing but it is interesting to see the interest the US senate has in this story. After all it does make at least 41 of them look very foolish including two presidential candidates. Oh, did I say that? By the way, this is an excellent example of influencing our elected officials.
A quick message to the US Government visitors:
Welcome to Malagent.com - Senator Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton & others, I’m glad you decided to visit and I know my loyal readers would love to hear your views on this fascinating story. If you are one of the 41 Lettergate Signators we would like to know if you are going to match Rush Limbaugh’s donation? Have you ever thought that stunts like this combined with an overall inability to achieve anything meaningful might be contributing factors in your approval ratings?
Lets check out some of these visitors & their agencies. So on with the server logs…
We have a lot of hits from the US Senate today, make sure and check out some of the search terms used on these as well to show you (a good idea of) who is looking up the info. One can’t blame a politician for checking the blogs about them - particularly when they have an approval rating lower than President Bush, who most Democrats call the “worst president ever.”
(Update 17:00) It’s interesting to note times of visits and links clicked compared to comments posted on the article. If you see anything worth noting please comment below.
(Update: 18:05) OK, that did not take long for me to make someone mad. Sorry, but I have had to remove some images with “potentially identifying” information on them. I will post what I can soon.
(18:30) Images are back after minor “sanitizing” (don’t you just love lawyers?) I had to omit a couple of minor things that could lead to “specific computers” at “specific times” in order to avoid what could be “uncomfortable discussions” - So that’s what I did.
With an approval rating at 11%, even lower than that of President George Bush, Harry Reid, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Blanche Lincoln, Richard Durbin, Kent Conrad, Bob Menendez, Charles Schumer, Christopher Dodd, Barbara Mikulski, Patty Murray, Byron Dorgan, Bill Nelson, Daniel Akaka, Dianne Feinstein, Barack Obama, Max Baucus, Tom Harkin, Jack Reed, Joseph Biden, Daniel Inouye, Jay Rockefeller, Barbara Boxer, Edward M. Kennedy, Ken Salazar, Sherrod Brown, John Kerry, Bernie Sanders, Robert Byrd, Amy Klobuchar, Debbie Stabenow, Benjamin Cardin, Mary Landrieu, Jon Tester, Tom Carper, Frank Lautenberg, Jim Webb, Bob Casey, Patrick Leahy, Sheldon Whitehouse, Carl Levin, & Ron Wyden all turned away from the business of the nation to instead smear a private citizen, forty-one of them sent a letter demanding the “repudiation” of their inaccurate interpretation of Rush Limbaugh’s comments regarding “phony soldiers.” Keep in mind that Rush has the #1 listened to radio show in the nation.
But Malagent, why are you writing about this?
A: It’s incredibly amusing, kind of like someone walking along and smacking the 41 baboons who signed this letter every time someone mentions it on a blog or in the tradition media. Continue reading ‘Lettergate: Rush 2,100,100 - Harry Reid Zero’
The video gets pulled but here it i. I will continue to maintain a copy of the video here for as long as someone is looking for it, the YouTube embed will soon be replaced with my own so I don’t have to worry about them pulling it from my account like they have done with so many others.
James Walton - A senior, veteran & business owner. Also a victim of crime and a person who has faced a life and death situation twice in three weeks and survived. Only to be attacked by a great example of what’s wrong with journalists and media these days.
Feel free to link to this page, I will maintain a copy of the video here even if YT pulls it.
(Update 10/20) Yep, they did pull it. No surprise there I guess. 
But wait! It’s not new or improved, but it is back…

Apparently the benevolent government of the People’s Republic of China have the best interests of their citizens in mind when banning such things as websites and blogs. We really would not want to corrupt the minds of the Chinese with something as dangerous as though, free will, critical thinking or opinion.
Or maybe it is the capitalism that we must protect them from. Money is evil and it will corrupt their minds as well.
Whatever the case, I can’t consider the Chinese to be part of my Audience because the Great FireWall of China has stopped my blog’s electrons cold in their path to the workers Communist Paradise.
In preparation for dental implants I had two teeth pulled this morning. My only complaint is that for some reason the dentist does not see fit to provide a pain medication prescription after two rather difficult extractions.
She actually suggested using Ibuprofen. Oh well, it wont last long and if it gets too bad I’ll simply call and demand a prescription. As I’m writing this the local anesthetic is nearing the end of it’s usefulness and I’m realizing that the pain is not as bad as expected but still exceeds the efficacy of a few Advil.
Without having (or wanting) health insurance coverage I simply pay cash for the services as they are rendered. However, having had health insurance in the past I’ve noticed one major difference without it. In my experience doctors tend to literally hand out prescriptions when a patient is insured and are much more reluctant to do so for patients who pay out of pocket. This especially applies to pain medications. If you have experience with this let me in the comments, perhaps I’m in the minority on this one. Someone in the health care business might be able to enlighten me on this subject.
My other thought on this subject comes from seeing an article on CNN.com a few minutes ago with the headline “Brits resort to pulling own teeth.” Having posted about the health care & socialized medicine debate recently I finds it interesting that as an uninsured U.S. citizen I’m complaining about a little pain while 6% of Brits are pulling their own teeth according to CNN’s article. While it’s not the only case of people suffering or dying under the socialist medical services it certainly does sound like a painful example. Reminds me of Tom Hanks smashing his tooth out with a rock in the movie Castaway.
The article states the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health, commissioned the survey which finds “that the NHS dental system is letting many patients down very badly.”
What? Does Michael Moore know about this? Someone should let him know so he can release a new version of Sicko.
