NY Times' Bill Keller Concedes We're Winning in Iraq
The New York Times' leftist Executive Editor Bill Keller, who for reasons beyond my comprehension escaped the firing squad despite his openly treasonous efforts to benefit our terrorist enemies, delivered some wonderful news when he gave the Hugo Young Memorial Lecture in London last week. Amid the usual incoherent ravings regarding the iniquity of our President, he confessed:
We have a war going very badly in Iraq.
In other words, the New York Times' allies, on whose behalf the paper has propagandized so relentlessly for years, are getting their butts kicked by our troops, courtesy of the Surge.
Cheer up, Keller — maybe you can turn the tide by publicizing more top-secret details of our anti-terror operations.

The Golden Compass' author Phillip Pullman says he hates C.S. Lewis because the latter hates women and fat kids with freckles.

This from a man who openly hates religion, churches, Christianity and especially Catholics.

And showing his complete devotion to Moonbattery's tenet of whininess, Pullman also Lewis for the latter's: 'superficial and bustling' storytelling, hating growing up, having his characters beat up bullies, not portraying death as an oblivion of sorrow and teh suck, and generally being a better writer than Pullman.

Have read Lewis since I first knew how to read (1966). Everything from the Narnia Chronicles to Mere Christianity to The Problem with Pain and most of his other works. Lewis might have started out as an atheist, but he became one of the greatest Christians of the 20th century. His volume Mere Christianity is brilliant, succinct and was written by someone standing with both feet firmly on the ground. He didn't pussyfoot around. He'd experienced war (WWI), seen plenty of death, was wounded himself and was clearly something Mr. Pullman wasn't: a real man and a real Christ-man.
BTW, the sequel to the first Narnia flick is due out in May:
Prince Caspian. The preview looks fab. Catch it if you want and skip Pullman's disaster.

Speaking of disaster... Very good article on how Hollywood cash got Pullman to almost completely sell out on the rabid anti-Christian overtones of his books. Kicked otu scripts, quitting directors and everything. The undertones are still there however.

Many have noted that since things have been going much much better in Iraq, news stories on Iraq have decline by 2/3. When was the last time a positive story was done on Iraq? US troops/contractors are rebuilding the country, building roads, hospitals and infrastructure. Sure homicidal maniac radical muzzies are still around blowing a bomb every so often, but overall its better than living under the boot of Saddams henchmen where hundreds of thousands were dragged away and buried in mass graves away from the prying eyes of the media. If this were WW II, FDR would have ordered members of the media put on trial for treason.

To show how out of touch Keller and the rest of the media elites are: Hollywood anti-war films flop, but pro-war YouTube films are hot.

Why do I always get him and Lee Bollinger, Columbia President, confused? Maybe because they're the same person.
