Jiggity tipped me to this SNL short from last night.

Fairly amusing.

Samberg means it as a goof, but honestly, there really are a lot of Americans who naked-like Mahmoud.

Newscaster makes the most delightful flub.

You can't mince your way up a mountain, is what I think she's trying to say.

Thanks to Bart.

Pretty decent video mashup of moments from his speech. I almost want to dip my balls in it. Your mileage may vary.

Thanks to Jay at Stop The ACLU.

...which is what most of us expected his decision to be, but the threat of his running had a small amount of freezing effect on the race with some holding out hope for a Newt run and thus not examining the announced candidates seriously. I'm glad he finally decided.

He's a good spokesman for the conservative cause, but not, I think, a very strong candidate for president.

Gingrich would not endorse a specific candidate and said he "couldn't imagine" being a vice presidential candidate if offered the opportunity.

Gingrich joked with FOX News more than a year ago that his flirtation with a White House run was in part to sell books and give lectures, and to focus the debate on his issues.

For several months Gingrich said he would run for president if he could raise $30 million dollars. No candidate in this race has ever raised that much in one quarter.

Here's a very dumb MSM "scoop" on his supposed reasons for not running. Basically that he wanted to pursue his nonpartisan advocacy project at the same time as running for president but McCain-Feingold prevented that, so he chose to stick with his website.

Uh, yeah. That's what's keeping me from running for president too, NBC. You can quote me on that.

Because Guess That Party! was so much fun, it's spawned a sequel.

Rapist Receives 40 Years In Plea Deal reads the headline. Fair enough. An illegal status isn't quite on the level of rape. But how many paragraphs do you think you'll have to read to find this information out?

More paragraphs than you're willing to read? Ah, that's the intention, isn't it?

One had been asleep in her Haltom City home when she was attacked. Her children were in a nearby room.

Another woman had been waiting in her car for a friend outside an Arlington apartment complex when she was dragged from her car, forced to a nearby field and raped.

The third had just arrived home from work and was unlocking the front door of her Fort Worth apartment when she was hit from behind, shoved inside and raped.

Friday morning, the three women came together in a Tarrant County courtroom to address Jose G. Carrillo, the 32-year-old man who pleaded guilty this week to attacking them and one other woman in exchange for a 40-year prison sentence.

One after the other, the three women took a seat in front of the courtroom, looked Carrillo in the eye and explained why he was getting what he deserved.

'I will go on living, enjoying life. I'm going to enjoy my freedom. I'm going to enjoy watching my kids grow old,' the Haltom City victim told Carrillo. 'These are the simple things that will be taken away from you.

'It gives me great pleasure. I hope you realize in time that because of your sick, selfish, twisted, cowardly acts that you did to women, that you deserve the future that is set before you,' she added.

It was for a fourth case, the January 2006 rape of an 18-year-old woman attacked as she walked to work in north Fort Worth, that Carrillo was to stand trial Oct. 8. But on Wednesday, Carrillo, who authorities say is in this country illegally, opted to seek a plea agreement with prosecutors instead.

After a day of negotiations, he pleaded guilty to three of the charges for which he'd been indicted -- two aggravated sexual assaults and a burglary of a habitation with intent to commit sexual assault. He also pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated sexual assault for the Arlington rape. He had not been previously charged in that case because investigators had only a partial DNA profile linking him to the crime, prosecutors said.

Note that he couldn't be prosecuted in those previous rapes and assaults do to lack of beyond-a-reasonable-doubt evidence, and that's our system: Fine. But he could certainly have been deported previously based upon what seems relatively easy to establish beyond any doubt: That he was in the country illegally.

And yet he was allowed to continue raping and raiding at his pleasure because of our goddamned murderous political correctness.

I wonder if the latest victim of his vicious rape-obsession applauds the sanctuary city regime. I wonder if she, too, agrees that the it's somehow wrong to ask if a career felon is even in the country legally.

Thanks to AllenR.

Gee, I wonder what sort of "respect" he would have paid to the dead of 9/11. (No link yet; reported over the air on FoxNews.)

The Iranian parliament meanwhile has declared the US armed forces and CIA as "terrorist organizations" in a childish tit-for-tat over our branding of the terrorist Quds forces as terrorists.

We brought 9/11 on ourselves?

I like that logic, Mahmoud. Just remember that bit about "the chickens coming home to roost" when Nighthawks light up the skies over Teheran.

Just think of them as the blackest, stealthiest, coolest-looking chickens in the whole wide world.
