The Blair-Glass ‘Sleeper Cell’ — British Tabloid Fabricates a Phony Scoop

Here’s a quote from the New York Times, about Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s trip to Russia last year: Kevin Brock, a former senior FBI and counterterrorism official, said, “It’s a key thread for investigators and the intelligence community to pull on.” On the top of Memeorandum last night was this headline from the British tabloid, the Mirror: […]

A Picture That Will Warm Your Heart

What a week, huh? The most outrageous image of the week — and it still makes me angry just to think about it — was the picture of “Suspect Number Two” (19-year-old Dzhokar Tsarnaev) placing his backpack bomb next to 8-year-old Martin Richard.

Joe Biden Invents Phony Gun Statistics — Because SHUT UP HATERS, That’s Why!

Stephen Gutowski describes the goofball’s latest anti-gun idiocy: By combining, apparently in his head and on the fly, the demonstrably inaccurate “80,000 plus people a year” with the debunked claim that 40% of gun sales in America don’t require a background check, Mr. Biden reaches the completely unverifiable claim that “between 30,000 and 50,000 who […]

TV Won’t Show You the Pictures, But the Reddit/4Chan Guys Have Apparently ID’d the Boston Marathon Bombing Suspects

After watching Fox and CNN dance around the subject — “We’ve seen the photos that the FBI doesn’t want released to the public” — and doing some careful comparison of descriptions available here and there . . .
