The media and the Democrats (same thing) seem to have gone rather quiet about GWB's "lies" over WMDs lately. Even John Kerry has hedged his bets. Could this be part of the reason why? "Jordan recently seized 20 tons of chemicals trucked in by confessed al Qaeda members who brought the stuff in from Syria. The chemicals included VX, Sarin and 70 others. ... There's a lot of reason to think (the source of the chemicals) might be Iraq..... The best U.S. and allied intelligence say that in the 10 weeks before the Iraq war, Saddam's Russian adviser told him to get rid of all the nerve gas."

Dreadful news for John Kerry: "A springtime surge in hiring rumbled into a second month as employers added nearly 300,000 new jobs in April, which lowered the unemployment rate to 5.6 percent".

There is a set of figures going the rounds on the net which purport to show that U.S. States which supported Bush in the last Presidential election have lower average IQs. This author wisely suspects that the figures are a fake. Chris Brand has contacted the author of the test concerned and he says that he knows of no authentic State-by-State averages for his test.

Catallarchy has a celebration of May Day which notes accurately what socialism has done for the workers.

Brigitte Bardot was once the symbol of France. It is good to see her defending the France she once stood for.

A blunt New Zealand comment: "Michael Moore is being interviewed on CNN as I blog. He actually used the term "crushing of dissent". Stupid fat bastard!"

China Hand has a big new post up on his recent travels around China -- with some striking photos.

Both China Hand and I found this article about British cars very funny -- despite that fact that China Hand is a car buff and I am anything but. It is British humour from an American. Page 3 is the best.

The Left have always wanted more spent on welfare and made "Fascism" a swear-word. President Bush deposed a brutal Fascist dictator and sponsored a big expansion of welfare. But instead of being admired by the Left, he is hated with a passion. What does that tell you about the Left? It tells you that they have no principles at all: That everything they have ever claimed to stand for is fake.

All politicians seek power but conservatives bring with them a genuine concern for the welfare of their country. Leftists bring only their hate-filled Stalinist hearts and their pretend compassion
